Here in San Antonio is Randolph AFB. All drone pilot basic training starts at Randolph, program has been in place there since 2009. Advanced training is continued elsewhere. There was a lengthy newspaper article about it Sunday, and the interesting fact is they cannot train enough drone pilots to meet the USAF's need for them now. For a very long time, USAF was actually hostile to the idea of their flying drones. I guess because a drone pilot cannot collect any medals or get promoted very quickly like regular pilots can.
