I attempted to attend WOFT back in 1985 under the High School to Flight School program. Passed the FAST test and Warrant Officer Board, only to be denied because of a vertical astigmatism that was "2 clicks" too far out of standard. Broken hearted, I decided to go Airborne Infantry Unassigned Ranger instead. Years later, as a Drill Sergeant, I found out during Summer Training for ROTC students, that if I had gone to OCS, I would have passed the standards for commissioned officer rotary wing pilot. Been retired now since 2002 and not sure what the standards are today, but keep this in mind if this is your dream and the same obstacle is put in front of you.

Finding the right recruiter is probably the best advice in this video. Back in 1980 (the dark ages), I decided I would try for Army Aviation. The whole process was absolutely miserable. After I took the ASVAB, my recruiter called me and said "Well, you can have basically any job in the Army that you want that doesn't require a college degree (officer)." He already knew I wanted to go aviation so he set me up for the aviation aptitude test (what is now the SIFT). After I took the test, I waited, and waited, and waited. Finally he called and said "Bad news...you failed the test". Now, I had been an aviation buff for years...I knew a LOT about flying without having never actually flown. I knew the instruments, I knew the weather, etc. I told the recruiter "I have taken a LOT of test in my life...there is NO WAY I failed that test." He called me back a few days later and told me "I just found out that the scoring methods were changed....you passed the test". Next was the physical. I had some issues with vision, but the flight surgeon asked if was was planning on flying supersonic aircraft. I said no, so he signed off. I was scheduled for the Oral Review Board THE NEXT DAY....again, uninformed recruiters. After a 6 hour bus ride, I was told that my packet had not had time to reach the board and I would have to come back next month. A week later, I got a job offer that was too good to turn down, so I never went. I eventually got a Private Pilot license with a helicopter rating ( it cost me $12K and I never really got to make full use of it...). Having a knowledgeable recruiter is the most important thing you can do. Thanks for the video.

It's funny you mention the practice quiz. I scored high enough my recruiter siid I could do the ASVAB and SIFT in 5 days. Gladly the credits I need can be used for math.

Yo I was looking for this video for a while! Just in time!

If you're in college or about to enter college, you can also check out the ROTC program. If there isn't one at your particular school, you can find one at another university and commute to the program. One reason why I recommend this is because ROTC is especially geared toward university students being groomed and trained to become commissioned officers. You'll get a look at leadership roles, team work and expectations. Some people enroll and then decide that military life isn't for them. There is no obligation until your senior year and you can apply for flight training at the end of your junior year. It's another avenue to explore.

Super helpful! Thank you for making this

Great video. This is something I am considering when looking at my options as an Army Reservist (or possible return to active duty). I love aviation and have wanted to become involved with it more than a hobby. However...my age. I'm not young anymore. I'll be 50 when I begin jumping through these hoops. I can make it through the testing, boards, PT test, all of it, done it before. However, normally, guys my age have been considered too old. But I've two things that make it at least worthwhile to consider. 1. I see there is a shortage of pilots about, both civilian and military, which has the military willing to waive the age requirement for otherwise good candidates. 2. I'm prior service, in that I've 13 years in already, so I don't have nearly as far to go to retirement, so they've chunk of time they can avail themselves of my services, yet I can make retirement. So...is 50 too old or if I bust my ass, I can make it through this gauntlet?

ALSO, would you stay in in Army or consider other options when your contract is up? if do stay why? just curious.

One thing to consider, most Army Aviators are type A personalities. As a Warrant Officer, you will be ordered to do very dangerous tasks and perform those tasks without hesitation. It takes a lot of courage and the ability to ignore fear while flying the aircraft, regardless of the treat. My flight class was 71-1. I have logged over 900 hours of combat in Vietnam. You will never be more alive than when you are in combat, often taking fire while flying, with your life and others' lives at stake. Very few of you will ever get the chance to become an Army Aviator. One other thing, you need an IQ of at least 140. Good luck and God bless.

Facts

Went through WOFT back in 1989. The Army is certainly willing to take an inter-service transfer from another service then one of their own. Why? The Army isn’t losing a body, but gaining a body. However, if it’s your dream or drive to fly then go for it. So couple of years enlisted in another service then one year of flight school as a WOC and then it’s been a lifetime of excitement and memories. Thirty years ago today I was on “tree status” and only two weeks from pinning my bar and wings. Holy crap time flies. It is A LOT of work to apply and earn a selection in Army Flight School as a Warrant, but it is and was worth every minute of that work. An unknown path is the National Guard. That’s a great path as well and has benefits similar and yet different to being on active duty. Check out both.

It is Warrant Officer Flight Training, for fixed or rotary wing. Once you qualify, you can go for regular airplanes or helicopters. I got my ratings in fixed wing, right on up to multi-engine, commercial and instrument ratings. Too many moving parts on those choppers and too many things can go wrong. Just my thought

Your video was very informative.👍I like to ask do they stress alot on college degrees in aviation when you apply?

This is the method to be an army aviator straight from high school with no college, which is actually quicker. I went to college and took army rotc. They ask 3 jobs you want upon completion, I put helicopter pilot all 3 times. Complete college and go in army flight school at Ft. Rucker

Some SIMPLE STUFF: (1) Some recruiters are total slackers. If you run into one of those types, RUN, DO NOT WALK away from him/her! When you find the right recruiter tell the him (or her) that you want ONLY flight school or you're out the door! (2) Pass all the tests with MAX or very close to MAX scores. (3) Pass the flight Physical. (4) Go to Flight School and graduate number one in your class while having a total ball! While you are at it, learn how to "play the game". That will be valuable to you for your entire Army career whether it be only your several year obligation or you stay till you can retire.. As you go through the years and the Army asks you to leave being a Warrant Officer and become a Commissioned Officer, DON'T DO IT! No fun at all--no respect, and you'll wind up mostly "flying a desk"! That all worked for me and became an IP of many kinds, flew many kinds of Helos and many kinds of airplanes and LOVED it! Instructing at Ft. Rucker was a total kick in the *ss and I REALLY like that! Only mistake I made was taking a commission.....hated flying a desk!

You will be considered a “prior service” guy however that doesn’t change the process at all other than just a couple more papers for the recruiter to process I.e. DD-214, statement of service etc. I was a prior service AM2 with a 3 year gap in service when I applied (and got picked up). You will LOVE the Army compared to the Navy by the way😉 Much more of a Team environment across the ranks than a Haze-fest Class system.

I'm a Navy crewman on the MH-60S. Always wanted to be a pilot but dropped out of college. Knew about this program before I enlisted but was told I'd never make it... should of given it a shot. Now the Navy has gotten me way to dumb to become a pilot haha. Maybe I'll still give it a shot once my contract is done.

Prior Navy (enlisted) myself, and I’ve been through training here at Rucker with plenty of people of people who got picked up from all of the other branches while they were still Active duty enlisted.. Just put together a packet now! Also you don’t need a degree to get picked up so don’t let that scare you away.. Any credits towards a degree will look good though! If you don’t get picked up just drop a packet again when you get out. Just make sure you do really well on the SIFT first time up because you only get two opportunities to pass and the first time you pass that grade is locked in and you don’t get a second opportunity to score higher. With your Helicopter experience you should do pretty well, but the SIFT specific study guides really teach you how to take the TEST itself well. I skimmed through the guide one time right before I took the SIFT and it really helped out. Best of luck Shipmate! (P.S. the Army is so much more enjoyable than the Navy!!!)

ag23100 It can all be accomplished with due diligence on your part and being proactive in about six month from the time you start talking to a recruiter until you ship to basic depending on how board dates line up etc. Yes you have to go to Basic training to become a Soldier first, then ship to Rucker for all the officer and Flight training before your first unit. You do have some control over which aircraft you get to fly, if you get top of your class on the order of merit list you should be able to pick any aircraft in the Army. If you had the lowest scores you get whatever is left after your classmates select. You will not be disappointed with your aircraft, all of them are awesome and have a unique mission set. You will learn to love it even if you hated it prior. I’ve seen several times that that was the case. You do get to do a dream sheet of where you want to get stationed however if there’s not a need for the Army where you want to go, you won’t get sent to your first pick. However you normally will get to go somewhere on your top 3 choices. If you really want to pick your Duty station and the aircraft your going to fly, go Army national guard in the State of your choice and get picked up that way😉. Retirement system is different than Active Duty and most of the slots are part time though.. However for some people that is perfect.👌

Basically, with in the program, for working on then , and hand on the aircraft, Jp -4 ,jp-6 j -5 and other fuel, to keep jet engine , going , old school, sbg

Do you have to sign your contract before knowing if you get into flight school? Basically do you sign first then wait to see if you got accepted?

You've mentioned you're pursuing your fixed wing certification, are you not planning to do 20? If so, why? I was enlisted for 5 and am really hesitant to get back in but the itch to fly isn't going away and I'm nearing aging out, so I want to hear all the major cons to see if I can talk myself out of it or if I need to do it.

Hey dude, would kill for an update video on how things are going, etc. Also, was hoping someone with experience could weigh in on what the benefits and pit falls are of going flight officer vs WOFT?

Ran across this and thought it would be fun to say I got selected for WOFT Last month!

Can you do a video on SOAR?

I'm looking at going back to school and finishing ROTC and commissioning into aviation. what flight opportunities are there for officers? and can officers go warrant?

Good Afternoon Sir, So would you be willing to do a interview and if you like what you hear give a LOR? I have 4 from civi but I'm told unless I get a current serving LOR then they don't mean anything. i have asked several times for the recruiter to try arrange something but that seems to be a dead horse.

So I don’t get it, a maximum score on the Asvab is 99 but in order to be a pilot it’s 110 minimum. What?

Your actual ASVAB score has nothing to do with the "110" score. The 110 is based off your GT score which is a score based off certain subjects within the ASVAB, which is, word knowledge, paragraph comprehension and arithmetic reasoning.

Can you make a video or provide input for air force nco's trying to go warrant? I am not having good luck finding valuable information. There's a decent amount of info about personnel already in the army wanting to transition, but almost no interservice information. Can you bridge this gap? You'd be helping two TSgt's with 12 years each attain the dream of going to flight school.

what if you are already in the military???? could you get into the program????

I’m looking into becoming an army pilot, and I’m wondering if you would be willing to help me with some specifics on the process?

I know it’s too late to ask but, brother do you need and paper than high school diploma to be an army aviator?

I love your energy. I know they'll train us but I have been so worried about land nav, sere exam, and combatives. I decided 19months ago i want this, been preparing for about a year, got an 84 on practice asvab and doing mma for 7 months. Also have the sift and asvab books. I can just pass the pt test. No medical issues, No criminal history and my recruiter is an air traffic controller who attended Fort Rucker. Is there anything I am missing?

Martin Forde Get that PT score up. You will be sitting for most of the day. There are multiple PT tests throughout flight school.

Good evening/ morning. My name is Andy and im currently atudying for the SIFT. Just wondering sir if u had any advices on what to focus more in the sections. Also i recently transferred branches from USMC to US ARMY

Can you go from 15Tango to 153D? What's the process if you do not have a degree? My recruiter said to do a 15T contract and work through the service to become a pilot

ew a MAC my flight board is next month and im stoked

can i do flight training and then go sf as a beret or ranger after. maybe do national guard after 5-6 years of sf, for flying

What if you want to fly, but you are already enlisted?

Can i apply with hand tattoos? I cant find the policy atm. Im currently enlisted 18x and my finger tattoos were approved when i enlisted.

You talk about recruiting in this video. Can you go straight from basic to WOFT or do you have to get to a certain rank first?

my son wants to join CWO flight training and he has no prior service. He will approach the military with a private helicopter pilots license hoping that will help. How can I help him approach the army?

I’ll be taking the SIFT this Friday (Oct 11th). If y’all have any questions you’d like answered I’ll be happy to after this test.

How did it go? What did you struggle with? What was the reading comprehension portion like? How complicated is the math? Am I allowed to use a crap piece of paper?

Hey I got a DWi in 2014 after separating from the Air Force. Does that automatically disqualify me? Did you have anyone in you flight class with a dui?

chances of you getting in are slim, it was 6 years ago and that is the only thing going for you right now but I highly doubt you will be selected over someone that has a clean record and established credible military service. A lot of people are trying to re class as O9W

What are the books that you studied to help you pass the test?
