Questions for Army Aviators

Lynx, Make a decision a go w/ it. No one knows you better than you! watch what the recruiter tell you, if you don't like him or don't believe him, go to another one. Be responsible for your own packet, isn't there a checklist. Or sack up & call NG unit tomorrow & talk w/ an officer, preferably MAJ or above. Whats the worst that can happen? He could yell or laugh at you, If you join, there will be alot of that!

Hell, if I were you, i'd stay in college, go to grad school & do ROTC. Let the military pay for it. You could see if you really liked.

Lastly, don't let anyone make your decisions for you!

I have no idea if they have made a packet for me or not. I think I'm getting the run around treatment. I'm guna call my schools Army ROTC unit and talk to them about grad school or getting another degree.

I know for a fact that the Army reserves is low on Warrants. On baseops.net or gov there is a number for a Major Gray. call him and see what happens. he's the guy doing the recruiting. Good luck and dont take no for an answer!

My story

19 years ago I was a 29 year old double-master's degree, non military helo wantabee. One more year and I'm done! If your in Texas go to my old Apache reserve unit in Conroe (north of Houston on I-45) or the guard unit at Ellington Field and talk to someone there. If your in the guard/reserves I'd definitely recommend going the Warrant Officer route. If you need any further info just give me a call.

Recruiters don't get any credit towards their "Quotas" for WOFT Applicants. Most have not done enough WOFT Packets to really know what to do when they have someone.

Unlike trying to get someone into the military. The road to WOFT whether you are coming in off the street, or whether you are already on Active Duty, is never going to be just an easy path laid out for you. You have to truely want it, and work for it. Most all WO's will relate some story of challenges they had to overcome to actually get to Flight School. Whether it was Bueracracy, Their Chain of Command, Deployments, etc.

Work it if you want it.
