Hey, just watched the video, I have some questions? I leave in June as a 15T Blackhawk Mechanic. My end goal is WOFT (S2S wasn't doable in my situation) and I have some fears. Lately all I've heard and seen is how terrible Army Aviation is and to avoid it like the plague. My main concern comes from the culture of it. Part of my dream and passion of becoming a military aviator comes from getting to experience and live the military aviator culture. I looked at WOFT because I do not wish to get a degree. I know Flight School is intensive academically and I enjoyed the ground school side when I took private lessons, I just don't care much for the general education side of things college/HS wise. Any input is welcome and appreciated. Thank you!

Hey man, so since you voluntarily dropped out of flight school which rank do you become? Do you remain a WO1? Or did they bump you down to E5 or something?

@brundvn Ай бұрын

@@RotorSpotter_ I’m actually a commissioned dude so I keep my rank and just change my actual job in the army. The warrants either keep their rank if they opt to specialize in their original MOS (or become a boat warrant), get sent back to their original job and rank, or get booted from the military. Kinda weird how it works

@RotorSpotter_ Ай бұрын

@brundvn Interesting. I thought you did WOFT at first. I'm working on a service transfer from the Marines to the Army via WOFT, so it's nice to know I'll have options if I were to not enjoy being an Army aviator. So I could potentially end up in a new field as a WO upon voluntarily leaving flight school? And would being "booted from the military" be an honorable discharge, or other than honorable? Could I still transfer branches at that point? It's cool if you don't know Also, boat warrant? Sounds like fun 😄

Canadian here, always wanted to be a pilot but I'm heading off to basic on our side in a few months if everything goes according to plan. I don't know the specific age requirements on our side for what we call it ACSO it's like the guy that fly's in the back I'd like to call it the professional back seat driver, not sure what I should really do because again the age limits but glad to see you did what you thought was right, on our side everything is pretty fucked up so there's a risk of ending up on the wrong path if you choose the wrong career hope i'll be able to fly in the back seat of fighters hopefully if I do end up an ACSO part time, considering other jobs like loadmaster, infanteer or rifleman as y'all call it in the states, but you are super lucky to have a well structured armed forces with what you get to pick and how accessible it is wishing you luck on your career hope everything ends up well!

Supply and Demand. When I walked into my Marine Corps officer selection officer's office decades ago in Chicago with my college diploma and no adverse health or drug history, that Marine major (also an aviator) was most cordial. Fortunately I passed the Navy flight physical and two years later at the end of Navy flight school, watched my bride pin on my Gold Wings. Supply & Demand: I don't remember taking any written test. Fast-forward: after my active duty I joined the Army Reserve as a warrant officer and enjoyed the privilege of flying the CH-47 Chinook on weekends for another 14 years. Again, no tests -- just presented my paper history, my USMC flight log books and keep passing that all-important flight physical. Very helpful video here. My take-away: Whew! I'm glad I caught the service just when they needed pilots; I'm not sure I could pass the SIFT today if I were starting from scratch. Bottom line for you: YOU can succeed in flight school if you clear your head and thoroughly prepare for each subsequent training flight. (One step at a time is how the military teaches you to fly. Problem is: you must remember all the steps leading up to today's flight.) Last tip: Send your recruiter a photo and a brief thank you note when you pin on your wings.

Things have definitely changed since the 80's. I took a timed ? 1 hour test, (I think it was called a FAST Test). You had to score a 90%....I got 92%. I was already a OCS 2nd LT and about a year later I was sent to Mother Rucker. Flt School was 9 weeks ground school/ SERE/etc, then we started learning how to hover. They gave you 20 hours, most had it done by 15 hours. Then Initial Entry Rotary Wing, then Instruments and finally Combat Tactics. I thought I was going to fail out during Instruments and I actually got a 95% on my check ride. We didn't have cellphone cameras back then and I wish I had taken more photos and video. I flew UH-1's . My unit had UH-1's, OH-6's and Cobras. Class 89-01 Red Hurricanes.

@harterbob Жыл бұрын

I also took thr FAST in 1980 and nearly aced it without studying. At the time I was a 2LT active duty Armor Officer tank platoon leader. In those days commissioned officers had to be serving in a combat arms branch to be able to be selected to attend flight training at Fort Rucker. After doing so well on the FAST I took a class 1A flight physical and passed that, too. I put a flight packet together, but my battalion commander wouldn’t endorse it. He told me he had planned on making me the scout (recon) platoon leader, but if I took that job on and still wanted to go to flight school after a year, he would endorse my application. Long story short, I led the scout platoon for a year, then reapproached him for his endorsement, which he begrudgingly gave. I submitted my application and was accepted into Officer Rotary Wing Aviator Qualification Course (ORWAC) Class 81-44 and graduated in May 1982. I then attended the UH-60 Aviator Qualification Course (AQC) and graduated the following month. I spent the next 20 some odd years flying Black Hawks and C-12s and retired from active service in 2001. This SIFT looks to be much more difficult than the FAST, if memory serves, and I’m not sure I would’ve done well enough on it to be accepted into flight training these days.
