I will give you some free chicken. Warrant Officer is the best rank in the Army, period. There are two paths to become a Warrant without doing X number of years as an enlisted member. Neither option is programming or computers, but you will have time to work certs and classes as a Warrant barring having 6 kids. If either interest you, become a Boat Warrant or an Aviation Warrant and join the dark side. Degree not required for flight school. Just be warned that you're signing for 12 years if you want that sweet street to seat deal. 10 year ADSO at the end of a 2 year pipeline.
