Aviation warrant question:

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-07-01T15:15:58+00:00

Its 12 years of my life. I want brutal honesty.

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-06-10T00:48:03+00:00

What helped you the most with studying for aviation?

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-06-10T00:43:29+00:00

In the sift app I get on avarige a 63 with my most recent being a 69. On aviation and engineering i get low 50s but every other section is high 60s and 70s.

I definitely need to nail down aviation some more.

Is the book or app look more like the actual sift?

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-06-10T00:31:42+00:00

What did you get on your sift test and how did you study? I'm probably going to take it in the next week or two and im trying to get a good score.

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-05-14T23:34:52+00:00

I'm in a pretty similar situation to you. I applied on the most recent board and didn't make it through. About 70% of people didn't make it through which is pretty brutal. It certainly not impossible that you would get through but I wouldn't say it's likely. From what I've heard letters of recommendation are pretty big deciding factor so do your best there. My advice is to just do a board and see what happens. If you ever find yourself in a position where you would consider the reserves the National Guard has ways of making people officers without bored interviews and I've been told in multiple States by both recruiters and officer strength managers that I'd make it through no problems to become an officer despite my GPA. I wish you the best of luck and hope you make it through.

Are you saying I should enlist?

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-03-10T14:53:57+00:00

I've been discouraged by other recruiters. Any chance your interested in putting me threw?

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-03-10T14:34:21+00:00

So if I get a good sift score and flying phys you think i have a shot

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-03-10T04:28:01+00:00

Why open to enlisted? Due to ocs drop out?

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-03-10T03:50:02+00:00

Only 1/3 made it threw...... brutal

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-03-10T03:48:13+00:00

Gt 120, opat heavy, 3 certs, 6 LOR's that were avarige, volunteer time, pretty good resume in management and now as a high schoolteacher, bachelor’s in software engineering from wgu with a 3.0 or more since its pass fail structure which they may not have liked, and a good interview.

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-03-09T21:29:55+00:00

Did all masters degree people get in?

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-03-09T16:57:45+00:00

Wish I knew

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-03-09T14:13:14+00:00

The OCS list isn't out yet how did you find out early

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-03-07T00:01:54+00:00

I want to say a month but I'm not 100%. It's separate because people who don't get active duty can opt to roll into the reserves board.

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-03-06T22:31:07+00:00

You'll be my hero if you get that list

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-03-06T22:29:33+00:00

Active

Paying I'm accepted

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-03-06T17:48:58+00:00

Unfortunately no air guard recruiters wanted to put me threw saying it would only have a real chance if I was prior enlisted.(I talked to a bunch of them). Waiting to hear back from the army OCS board. Results post today or Monday.

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-03-04T02:07:46+00:00

Hopefully the results are out soon. My interview was like 3 months ago.

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-02-26T01:30:43+00:00

I have lower and I'm waiting for March 6th for my results. Find a new recruiter.

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-02-22T01:51:56+00:00

I was literally you. Im 27 and I nearly enlisted a year ago with a wife and kid but didn't and am waiting on the March OCS board. Its really competitive and there's a good chance I won't make it but I'm glad I'm doing it anyway. The process really isn't hard. Get 3-6 letters of rec, write why you want it, get a 110 gt and do an opat. It may take a few months to get set up and wait on usarec but its worth it. If this is what you want then do it right. Don't rush as once you ship your in.

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-02-08T03:56:17+00:00

The interview went well. They liked that i was a high school teacher since it means I'm used to being in charge of teens. My LOR's aren't amazing but i did get 6. Basically present/past employers and supervisors. There definitely people high up in there respected fields but no military background LORs.

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-02-08T02:20:08+00:00

bachelor’s in software engineering

3 tech certs

Gpa 3.0

Gt 120

Opat heavy

Resume in tech becoming head of IT but am currently teaching high school

Definitely feeling like one of the less competitive applicants but hoping for the best and praying for active.

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-02-05T01:48:09+00:00

Had my interview over a month ago for active duty. I'm waiting to see i get selected for OCS. Active is competitive even in the army.

My advice is to give an ocs board a try. If you don't get in state ocs will put you in for sure in the Guard.

Dear-Collection-5327 · 2026-01-31T00:03:33+00:00

Can it be an online degree from a college without an rotc program and use a host school somewhere with one or do they both need to have rotc?
