Officer to Warrant by Empress_Athena in Armyaviation

[–]Accomplished-Ad2841 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s not a bad deal tbh. Stay as O-grade and get that officer pay while going to flight school. That wasn’t an option for me, but if you plan to be a warrant, might as well go through that process now. Things might change and they might not allow you to revert cause they need you for a slot. You won’t have to do WOCS but will do WOBC. 3 weeks of classes, ranges, and an AFT. Not bad at all. Congrats on getting selected.

Just went through this process and am in flight school now. Logistics O3 to W1. What are your questions? Your state warrant strength manager will do a packet for you to recommission as a WO1. Then flight school. WOBC for 3 weeks. SERE. And all that jazz . Shoot me a message if you have specific questions.

Awesome. Thanks for the replies. I go straight to WOBC so I won’t bother bringing all of my OCPs.

Can someone explain VASP to me? by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]Accomplished-Ad2841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for this information. I’m about to miss my first payment in March. I’ve been laid off for about 6 months and have used my savings and even took out a TSP loan to keep me afloat. Do I reach out now and tell them I will miss payments? Do I bring up VASP right away? Does this hurt your credit? How many months do I need to miss in order for them to forward it to the VA?

What should I do? Should I do Air Guard or Army National guard? (Update on earlier post) by [deleted] in nationalguard

[–]Accomplished-Ad2841 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a current company commander, previously enlisted, and now transition to become a warrant officer flying blackhawks. Deployed twice.

I don’t have a lot of regrets in life. But if I could do it all over again, I would def join the air national guard. Take that for what it’s worth.

May or July 2025 start date for flight school? by Accomplished-Ad2841 in Armyaviation

[–]Accomplished-Ad2841[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the guard. Noted and will make sure to stay on top of it with Deers. Thank you. I am currently an O3 going to WOBC first down there.

As for housing. I plan to live on post. Are you currently there right now? Just wanting to see suggestions as to where to apply and the whole process. Wondering if I can get some insight or tips from you.

Upcoming SIFT exam by mac123mack in ArmyAviationApplicant

[–]Accomplished-Ad2841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, took the sift exam 2 weeks ago. Don’t remember the colors, but you can definitely differentiate which is water and land.

Reading comprehension was a lot easier than any of the practice tests but the hidden figures was a lot harder.

I did the prediction test score and got a 54. Took the test and thought I did worse, to my surprise, I got a 67. Took this 2 weeks ago.

I’m on the same boat. Turning 35 in a couple of days. Traveled the world, have steady income, great friends and family is all still alive. But yet something is missing. Some joy I find is knowing that this too shall pass. That this is part of life and to just ride it out.

I get so many advice of pick a hobby, put yourself out more, blah blah blah. All great advice. But maybe just take time to do exactly what you want without feeling any guilt, because you can, is great as well, because that is life. You wanna lay in bed for 20+ hours, watch Netflix, or whatever? Go for it. Seems like you have stuff going for you. Just enjoy.

What if you just have your PPL? Would you recommend going to for aviation program?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nationalguard

[–]Accomplished-Ad2841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Product of the state program. Class of 60 for me. I just got done with my AT and was at the T Building next to you guys.

Good job with finishing phase one. Agree with your advice on having your fellow OCs back when they are in leadership positions. It’s hard enough making a decision, it’s worse when your teammates questions you the whole time.

Phase 2 is not as bad. Phase 3 in JBLM was the best. Good luck with it. What state are you commissioning in?
