    Good afternoon. You seem to have a good handle on WOFT Specialist. My class was Class 83-08, maroon flight. In my time we entered with 83 Candidates, approximately 25% were Guard or Reserve. I was Active Duty. Flight training fir warrants has changed since then, in my opinion for the better. We initially entered in WOCMDC, Warrant officer Military Development Course. It lasted approximately 8 weeks. Only after successful completion did the candidate cross over to Basic flight, called primary. Primary lasted approximately 9 weeks. I will tell you, if you failed at any point along the entire 55 week program, you left (were administratively eliminated) and re-entered active duty in an MOS that the Army chose to place you into. Rarely was it your original MOS. Good luck to you. You should do well.

    I think not making SGT after 9 years is hurting your chances, it shows how motivated you are or are not. We had a crew chief in my Air Cavalry Troop who the CO would not sign off to go since (at the time in J series?) we had one UH-1 Huey that he was the crew chief for it. He later went about the 5 year mark if I remember correctly.

    I’m planning on trying for the warrant officer route for flying but I’m a little nervous about the APFT score. I’m a marine now and our pft is a bit different than yours in the army and I don’t know where a 270 for the army is in terms of how good it is. I’m not the best at pt and would obviously have to work but can you give an example of what you’d need to get a 270 and how much that score affects your entry?

    The interviews are conducted at the aviation hangar - technically on base for NG. As for flying me out no this is something I had to do because I was living in MA and Drilling in the FL Guard. But you may be able to inquire about travel pay with your unit but not sure they would like you leaving the state to try and join another guard. And yes they review your packet before you even get accepted to go in front of the board. Attention detail with the packet set up is huge - follow the packet instructions very closely

    I would say the questions you would see would be more related to civilian jobs and career any leadership roles you had or situations you may have had to act quickly on since not being in the military it would be unfair to ask military related questions unless it pertains to helicopter choices and why you want to join the military

    9 Years and still a SP4? During my era, he would be Chapter out for failing to make E-5. I made E-5 with less than 4 Years and E-6 with less than 7 Years. I went to PNOC as a SP4 and BNOC as a SGT E-5. I was was a SSG(P) when I ETS.. Had I stayed in, I would have been promoted to E-7. I had 10 years in. when I ETS. I would have been promoted with 9 years in but I needed 3 years left in order to be promoted. My friend who was a 19K like me made SFC E-7 with 9 Years in. He reenlisted for 6 years so he was promoted. We had a SGY E-% with 20 years who retired. The reason why he was not Chaptered out for failing to make SSG E-6 was the Army Regulations changed during his Enlistment so at 20 years he retired. The Regulations changed to as a SGT E-5 you had to make $$G E-6 with in 12 years our you were out. As a SSG E-6 you were out when you reached 20 years. I saw many NCO's get rifted (QMP) out. One was a SFC E-7 with 19 years in. Another was a SSG E-6 who was a fellow Army Recruiter. He was rifted (QMP) with 18 years in. The Army was Top Heavy with NCO's so the Promotion Boards began to identify substandard NCO's for (QMP). The Army denied reenlistment to substandard NCO's by having to wait util the last 30 days of an enlistment and needing approval from the Battalion Commander LTC 0-5 and Brigade Commander 0-6. It was also required to pass your SQT Test, PT Test, Weapons Qualification, Have a ASVAB GT Score of 110 or higher, Have an Enlisted Evaluation Report of 120 or higher, have attended PNOC and BNOC. Have Completed Army Correspondence Courses for your MOS. Rifted NCO received an reenlistment code RE-3 on their DD Form 214 which meant they could not enlistment. All they could do was to enlist in the Army Reserve or the Army National Guard. If there was a reenlistment code RE-1 you could enlist back in after being out for 30 days but you would lose one stripe. If you were a SSG E-6 it meant enlisting back in as a SGT E-5 but you had to make SSG E-6 during your new enlistment or you were out.
