Pro tip for the first reason: If you separate from the military honorably, the VA will pay for your flight licenses after you finish your private pilots license. Which you should of course have if your military time was as a pilot. Huge incentive.

Hey Damien, loved the video! Currently in school to get a degree. Military aviation is what I want to do but I’m questioning if I should continue on my path and try and become a naval aviator flying jets or if I should go Street To Seat and be an WO aviator in the army. Been wrestling with it for a while because while I like the idea of fast jets I also like the idea of doing Medevac and helping get wounded soldiers out of harm’s way. But like I said love your video and thank you for your service!

Hey thank you! I would apply to both!! Why not? See if you get into one of the two or both, then you can make a decision..

Can you do a video about making it into the Good Ol boys club? Maybe also a video on how to survive discrimination as a black aviator. I saw a video from General CQ Brown talking about racism in Aviation.

How much do army helicopter pilots get to see their families

How’s it going sir, love the videos I was just wondering can you work for the airlines, if you are a pilot in reserves/National Guard ?

Very informative video Damien!

Hey thank you! I’m gonna try and keep them coming!

It is truly fun, exciting, and a bit dangerous. Picking up a squad of infantry, flying contour in a tight flight of 4 at 120 knots (UH-1), dropping into an LZ, barely rocking the skids in the grass as the grunts jump out, and pulling a 40 pound takeoff is more fun than you'll ever have flying a bus for Delta. BTW, I flew with an 0-6 once, just once.

Binging your videos!!

Hey thank you!

Can you talk more in depth on how to get to the airlines from army helicopter pilot

How often during the 10 year ADSO does an army pilot get to see their families?

Good information. I've been out of the marine corps for 7 years but i'm considering going back in to army. I'm 31 currently, and have an associates degree. Curious to know if I'd be able to go to Warrant officer school and go straight in to this or not.

Yes absolutely. The cutoff age to be accepted is 32, without a waiver. So I’d get started asap

There are fixed wing aviator positions available. If you go on the ary website you will find both rotary wing and fixed wing aviator careers (Warrent or commissioned) but they do seem a lot less common so that mean that you have a better chance because less competition unlike the rotary wing position where everyone wants those because they never think of the army having fixed wing.
