Our community used to be the same. However, now that the USMC has a Primary UAS MOS, we are seeing Officers select UAVs out of TBS with zero flight experience. So, to address that aeronautical deficiency, we're sending those guys/gals through AF RPA school. They don't get any FAA ratings, however they get taken just short of the PPL and a few instrument hours in a simulator. In my opinion this is still inadequate for basic understanding of operations in the NAS. We're currently looking at ways to address that though.
Another interesting dilemma we're having to address is that of the enlisted operators. Enlisted persons "fly" the aircraft, while Officers supervise the conduct of the mission and run the radios. The Enlisted Operators only get what equates to Private Pilot ground school early in their training. Yet, the newest system we've purchased, will be entirely Enlisted Operated with little to no Officer oversight. Now we've created a scenario in which the Enlisted will either be required to undergo some form of flight school OR be restricted to operating in Restricted Areas only unless an Officer is pulled in to oversee the transit.
