Equally pedantic comment:

Unless something has drastically changed in the last few years, flight training generally lasts for 2-3 years. 1 year of 'undergraduate' flight training, plus more specialized training on specific aircraft.

I have no idea what your friend is doing that will take a decade(?!) to complete.

It may be a decade of service obligation total, or it might be a decade of training + experience before they can be rated to carry nuclear munitions.
