A quick question about the 7314 MOS

[tjsanders94]

I've already signed my contract and I'm going in for this MOS (As reserves) but wanted to know what else I would fly.

I was informed that I'd be flying the RQ7 when I took my tour of the reserves unit at Camp Pendleton, but what about any weaponized UAV's like the MQ-9?

you really don't "fly" anything....you get them in the air and then pick them up off the ground. That's it really. I know a Marine who lat moved into this thinking it would be "cool" and beneficial...

Thank you for the info. But I thought it was 7316 was the MoS (External UAV Operator) that dealt with the take off and landing procedures and 7314 was the actual pilot.
