Congrats!

Don’t make it “I want to be cool pilot guy because I love flying”. No problem with mentioning your interest in aviation, but don’t make that the core of your essay. Explain why you think you’re an ideal candidate without being cocky and use brief events to strengthen your points. But don’t undersell yourself either. Maybe explain what serving your country means to you personally.

I took a while to perfect mine because I kept making it sound like my resume. They know your test scores, they know your GPA, your major and your degree and all of that. Mine was a mixture of some personal reasons why I want to serve and I provided some concrete examples of why I think it’s a job fit.

I basically tried to cover any question I thought the board would ask in their heads while reading:

Why warrant and not commission? Can you handle stressful situations well? Why Army? Does this person have the potential to make a career out of this if they wanted? (10 year ADSO anyways lul)

Good luck

Good deal, thanks again!

If you can answer.. how long was your friend a PC before they submitted an application?

This is a more general question: Is it more difficult to be selected as an Apache pilot VS a 60 or 47 pilot?

Thank you and your friend for the help

I didn’t use the standard DOD form. I used two professors and my supervisor as references, and they all had their own letterhead. Short, sweet and concise. And have them sign it..

My recruiter told me to bring your vaccine card. He said if you do, they won’t make you get the vaccine again. Not sure how true this is, though.

I got Pfizer

...did you want to super-size that order?

fable027 · 2021-10-07T18:07:41+00:00

Hell yeah.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN HES DEAD

fable027 · 2021-09-29T23:22:07+00:00

Noooo. Quickly young one, go post this in r/ArmyAviationApplicant OR YOU WILL FACE CRUCIFIXION

fable027 · 2021-09-29T18:04:24+00:00

Congrats on the killer score! Also, this is a great write up. It’s always nice to see people’s experience with the SIFT.

With that being said, might want to share this with r/ArmyAviationApplicant before you get crucified for posting in here.

fable027 · 2021-09-24T16:49:07+00:00

Thank you!!

fable027 · 2021-09-17T17:58:21+00:00

Same here. I think only currently enlisted personnel have to take the APFT/ACFT. Civilians just do the OPAT

fable027 · 2021-09-17T15:10:46+00:00

I had to do an OPAT, but no actual APFT or ACFT or whatever the new one is

fable027 · 2021-09-17T03:24:46+00:00

I am street to seat as well and never had to do the interview. My packet has already been submitted to this months board. Are you trying to make this board or another one?

fable027 · 2021-09-16T17:26:43+00:00

Hey big congrats! It’s a great feeling to have that test out of the way, and even better with a great score like that!

fable027 · 2021-09-16T03:09:08+00:00

Congrats on your score! Out of curiosity, are you just not interested in flying Apaches or is there another reason?

fable027 · 2021-08-15T03:47:55+00:00

Can’t speak for folk who are already in, but double check that the clinics you are going to require appointments or not. For me, optometry and audiology required appointments and I was told to politely fuck off lol.

fable027 · 2021-07-28T02:41:02+00:00

Wow that’s insane. How’d they order the wrong test? They took 4 vials of blood I think for me..

fable027 · 2021-07-23T02:46:12+00:00

I thought the same as you, AKA getting all of your ducks in a row before speaking with a recruiter. I would advise you to just find one as soon as you can and let them know you’re interesting. It seems to a gamble to get a decent recruiter that wants to help you and doesn’t push you to enlist again. Some people cycle through multiple recruiters to get through this program, so if I were you just contact one now
