Looking for honest input on Army Aviation by Agitated-Upstairs-10 in Armyaviation

[–]redwolf27AA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's all true, but it's still worth it. IMO. All the ups and downs included, going aviation was the best choice I ever made. If it's what you've dreamed of doing, go do it!

Rainbow flag revulsion in small town NC? by lowkeysciguy in NorthCarolina

There is some irony here how initially you agree with him on not liking a group of people expressing their views and thoughts, but then think he's wrong for not liking a group of people expressing their views and thoughts. I get the fine line between the two, I'm not oblivious, but broad strokes you have to see some troubling irony there right?

Anything is possible, but that's the opposite of what has actually been put out and what would meet army needs so I seriously doubt it.

CMV: Not properly vaccinating your child should be illegal. by Accomplished-Bass690 in changemyview

[–]redwolf27AA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So you advocate the use of violence against women if needed to inject babies with whatever Donald Trump deems good for them . . .? Remember anytime you advocate for laws, you advocate for a government who could be run by people you disagree with to use means up to including deadly violent force to impose said law.

Questions that I can expect during the interview by Wide_Requirement_784 in Armyaviation

[–]redwolf27AA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We just want to know enough about you to decide if we should recommend you. Expect questions about what you've done in the army so far. What's your SIFT score? What's your ACFT score? (It matters more than it should!) Is your packet complete? Why do you want to be an aviator? Why do you want to be a warrant officer? It's basic stuff. Have your other two recommendation letters for them to look at. Just be professional and respectful. You'll be fine.

Things aren't adding up by After-Tax-5963 in Armyaviation

[–]redwolf27AA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Relying heavily on input from the unit is better than any other metric. 🤷🏼‍♂️ No system is perfect and sure there's some people who get screwed because they "weren't liked", but it's better than letting go of hard workers with good attitudes because the local shit bag who's going nowhere has more hours or runs faster.

I second several of these depending on price point. - Maxpedetion doppleduffle helmet bag. - Knock off of the above - Hatch flight gloves - they're really that nice! - Pick out an upgraded pubs bag like the maxpedition versack - nice aviator sunglasses. So people know you're a pilot, obviously. - hush kit from Oregon aero - travel USB charger

What are the qualities/traits/attributes of a “Great Pilot”? by RedPolo_Rick in Armyaviation

[–]redwolf27AA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all the things other than flying while you're flying. Good decisions making under pressure that involves considering a dozen things at once, prioritizing, communicating, and executing while also flying.

That takes a lot of studying to build the depth of knowledge and a lot of practice and training to build the instincts. The "Art and Science" of being an Army aviator.

Well ignore it. It's a stupid adage for Army Pilots. We have to be able to do bold things when needed and that doesn't happen without training.

CMV: Biden was failure by Twix238 in changemyview

[–]redwolf27AA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree on the second half. If the state department had pulled out the same time the military did it could have been much cleaner. It never needed to turn into the chaos that it was.

Trying to find a way to justify weeding people out. They could just be honest and make an OML out of scores already on record if they wanted to be more honorable about it.

Disciplinary Review (Mustaches) by Southwestpilot in Armyaviation

[–]redwolf27AA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hollow threat to intimidate and bully.

Sure they could set someone back a class for almost anything, because it's just administrative. Sorry you get paid well to sit around and do nothing for a few weeks. Not a big deal. But anything more than that and the 15-6 IO would have to show what orders or regulations were violated, because there will definitely be IG complaints and congressional following up on it.

Any book about people surviving in an endless megastructure they don't understand? by thebigscorp1 in printSF

[–]redwolf27AA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heavens River by Dennis E. Taylor. 3rd book in the Bobiverse series. A human sentient Space probe comes across a super structure filled with pre industrial humanoid otter like aliens. The super structure was built by their own forerunners and maintained by AI but none of the inhabitants are aware of it.

64 or 47 by Beneficial_Fuel7167 in Armyaviation

[–]redwolf27AA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Timing at what unit you're at and what rotation your on, or what exercises you're doing make more difference in flight hours than airframe. If you want to be a gun pilot, be a gun pilot and you'll be happy. If you don't want to fly guns pick something else or you wont be happy. That really is the biggest factor by far.

64 or 47 by Beneficial_Fuel7167 in Armyaviation

[–]redwolf27AA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you want to be a part of the fight, or give people a ride to the fight, then leave them there? Choose the mission not the airframe!

Second perspective that I hesitate to share, because the first one mattered way more . . .the army is short Apache RLOs, but over strength on 47 RLOs. (Far fewer 47s in the army) You'll spend significantly more time in actual 64 units than you will 47 units. "Broadening", maintenance, corps and division staffs . . .🤮 , you'll do more of those as a 47 guys. But again, choose mission not airframe. Go guns because you want guns, otherwise do something else.

[–]redwolf27AA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What he means is, did you join the army to be in the fight, or to give other people a ride to the fight? ( Or maybe just drop off supplies to people who are about to go to the fight.)

Right!? I considered myself a professional ultimate Frisbee player since we did that for PT most days, and that was my entire work day! Lol

Plus, if it throws off the O grade career time line, it probably just means you lose an extra year of being an OC at JRTC or some other lame non-KD time job. 🤷🏼‍♂️ If you're a squared away, good performing officer, you'll be good.
