3:05 is there like a underlying common theme between aviators and rocket league cuz i play that shit too lol

I'm 31, a civilian, and looking for a career change. I've always wanted to fly in the military. I've been working on a WOFT packet, and I did very well on the SIFT. I'm ready to start the journey, just working on some very minor issues to get the packet submitted. I'd love to make connections in the community and dive into the culture.

Did you pass everything?

Prior service active duty soldier here, did six and a half years in the infantry. Got out, fell in love with flying and immediately started clawing my way back in. Finally got back in with the guard this past October and reclassed as a helicopter repairer / crew chief. I am currently in the process of getting everything squared away for a WOFT board this summer. Took the SIFT, did the physical, just getting paperwork ready at this point really. These videos have been a good source of info. I appreciated them and it’s been fun to watch you transition from a marine veteran civilian to a WO in your guard unit, mustache and all.

currently an avionics tech for the ospreys, really wanting to lat move to be a c-130 loadmaster, any tips or advice would be appreciated!

Thanks for all these videos man! I just now realized after six years of being a medic getting lasik doesn’t disqualify you so I’m going full stop to get into flight school. Keep up the videos though they’re super helpful! I’ve gotta ask though, what are those awesome shades in your early video?

Great video thank you so much for making these

In your warrant officer packet in the resume, is there a certain layout the summary needs to be written ?

Brown hat, Class 85-04, TH-55s-UH-1Hs. West Germany, Egypt, Afghanistan. My nickel, 1961.

Chief, you were on the 24th MEU?! I was in the Navy before crossing over to the Army. 2006-2016. I was a 1st Class PO, and I was probably on deployment with you. I dont know if you remember the two Ospreys we lost on that 08-09 deployment in Morocco. Was a tragedy. I'm really trying to network with folks, I guess I found someone with shared experience. Semper Fi

You know of WOFT applicant (prior service) getting accept for age waivers (~37 yrs old)?

You guys are hot

Need more videos brother!

Your journey to the “dark side” is almost complete.

Man, watching your videos has been so dang helpful. I’m 27 in CA, been working random jobs that don’t bring any lasting fulfillment. Feel like after I gave up on pursuing law enforcement I lost alot of my purpose (career speaking). I worked in the jails for a short time at my local s/o and it just burnt me out man. WOFT has always appealed to me. Even being able to transfer helicopter flying to the civilian side through EMS work is pretty sweet too.I’ve reached out to my states warrant officer strength manager in times past and a few other guys out of state too. Street to seat seems to be that illusory slot but exists for those who put the effort in finding it. I have a small aviation background, solo’d and got enough training for my PPL checkride but ended up not completing it due to finances. Anways, kind’ve rambling here man, but just hoping and praying the Lord truly opens the right doors. Love the videos and updates, keep pushing 🤙

Thank you for your great video. Good luck to you in your honorable profession!

I’m 31 and ship out feb 18th. I wanted to submit a waft packet but I feel like my recruiter didn’t want to deal with all the paperwork. They told me I could drop a packet once at AIT. Being older I’ve had many options in life, if I wanted to be a pilot I could have gone to commercial school. I want to fly for the army, bottom line. I want to make my career in the army. Can someone help me and point me in the right direction.

Thank you for this amazing video.

I lived in Ozark Alabama years ago. I got to meet some CWO. Fort Rucker US Army is a great base.

Hi I was wondering why you made the switch from flying in the marines to the army if you don’t mind me asking?

I would build my own flight simulator at home if you would give me a chance.

Got one study guide book off Amazon. Didn’t know about the FAA Handbook until after I took the sift. That would have helped a lot. Got a 59 ….. wish I could had did better.

Hey man I know you posted this a while ago but just wanted to say im just now starting my Army Aviator path, im 21 and i realized that not only do i want to do something great with my life but im capable of it as well, ive already started exercising and studying, ive just applied to my local college for an A.A. in Mathematics to give my resume an upper hand. For the next two years i plan on mentality and physically preparing myself for the WOFT program while im working on my A.A. i watch your videos every day, and you're an inspiration. Hopefully, a little after 2 years from now, I'll have been accepted into the program and working on becoming and aviator thanks for helping me see the light.

Hi Gents, Question for Chief Hewitt, I'm a NROTC midshipman commissioning submarines, how likely is the nuke community to release me to be a 153A after i finish my initial service requirement and my first sea tour? Thanks for your time.

Finally got to Novosel on Thanksgiving Day, I start WOBC soon. Thanks for the motivation man!

I'm a navy reservist in a similar boat. This is so insightful. I was also deployed in Camp Lemnioer in 2019-2020 as well. Did he have to go back to army bootcamp [BCT] as prior Navy?

Im Security Forces in the Air Force and i just got my acceptance to the November board! Wanna do an interview when i graduate? 😏

Yeah I got an email from a marine recruiter and was told I’d be guaranteed a spot in flight school not sure what that means exactly

Hey! I've been watching your videos because I'm interested. I'm a firefighter currently and I'm 36. I know the age limit is 33. I'm interested in taking the street to seat route as I was never enlisted. I have a wife and 3 kids that I may be leaving behind. My concern is to be away a lot during the training. I was wondering how often do you get to go home and for how long? Can I reasonably expect a few days to a week every couple of months?

How do I get over the hurdle of my age? I am a 34 year old civilian pilot with a couple hundred hours. I have passed my sift with a great score. Everyone I talk just gets hung up on my age. I’m putting my packet together but the states I talk to don’t seem optimistic. Should I go active or reserve?

Is there any knowledge requirements to get an age waiver?

I PCS to there in a week! Super pumped been waiting 2 years since graduating college and the end of my first contract to get this opportunity. Interested to see the difference of warrant vs commissioned though

I don't know if your still obsessed with the Notifs but I'm currently trying to study for the SIFT and I never studied in high school so its like I've shot myself in the foot since I don't know an effective way to study. how would you recommend to study for this test. I have picked up the Red study guide you have.

Great Video taking the SIFT December 😅

I’m now 18 getting ready to graduate high school and sir these videos have been an absolutely incredible resource for me and I really appreciate it. I am currently in flight school flying helicopters, working towards getting my PPL, which hopefully will give me an edge and make me a little more competitive on the board. Once again thank you for all of these videos.

Buddy is smoking a black n mild😂

Just did my sift, past flight physio and awaiting my board dates. Thank you guys! I hope to meet you in the cohort

I'm dying to hear more about this guy and what boot camp was like for him as a sailor. I'm currently in the nuclear program because I could not get street to seat, but he gives me hope.

I'm about 4 hours away from Ft. Novosel, I'm just starting the recruiting process and 153A is my top choice. Can I come out and meet you one weekend and pick your brain on the process?

If you had the option, would you go for Army aviation, or marine aviation? I’m 25 years old, I’m currently torn between the two! I’m getting my WOFT package together

Working on my packet right now taking the SIFT in November.

Currently studying the SIFT! Take it November 14th, Super excited and nervous!

My son is an LT and just finished CC. He is on hold for his -60 training now. Red Hat. This sounds so familiar.

Just submitted my packet! Heard the WO community is small so lookin forward to meeting you guys

I was selected for the “Street to Seat” program back in June. I ship out to BCT at Fort Jackson this coming Tuesday, October 15th, and then I’ll be reporting to Novosel in January. Very excited for this opportunity to become an Army Aviator, especially as a warrant. Im extremely curious/anxious to see how coming out of BCT as a fresh PFC (E3) and rolling into WOCS is going to be with having much more tenured service members in my class. Thanks for making these videos on the WOCS and WOFT schools. They have helped to paint a better picture of what’s to come.

My son just got to Novosel this week and waiting to start WOCS next week. Thanks for putting this stuff out there! He's following the dream!

Just about to get started in the process going “street to seat”. Seems like finding LORs will be one of the main challenges other than passing my ASVAB/ SIFT; any recommendations for someone in my shoes? Coming from being an A&P mechanic as a civilian 🛠️💪

I just got accepted for street to seat and I ship out to start all of my training in a month, do you have any advice for me
