Did the WSO's get a commercial license in the civilian sector on thier own or is there some type of Military/FAA agreement?
They have to individually foot the bill for their own training -- the USAF doesn't pay for it.
I know a lot of WSOs and Navigators who are civilian pilots on the side...
My first instructor was a Navigator with a civilian instructor's license. Good pilot, too. I actually think he's flying some sort of UAV now. Have lost track, though.
