I am seeking to enlist in the Army as a Warrant Officer Pilot. I do not have any piloting or flight experience, however. I hold a BA in Government, MPP in Policy and MPA in Administration as well as professional experience at the managerial and experienced level in research, finance and government. I don't have any upfront disqualifiers (criminal record, tattoos, children) although I do wear corrective lenses (to 20/20) for astigmatism.
I don't know any Warrant Officers but I do have a retired Army O3 and current O5 that are willing to recommend me. Otherwise I have two Government Officials that are willing to write my recommendations as well (Large Texas county Commission and large Texas city City Councilwoman).
I've taken an unofficial ASVAB and scored a 78 (without studying or prior knowledge), and meet the height/weight restrictions (5'11/190) but am not in military fitness shape. I am 27.5 as of this writing.
I am not in a mad rush to serve and plan to commence fitness training very soon and will be meeting with a recruiter.
Any advice, recommendations or insight would be greatly appreciated.

I have done so, I’ve done extensive research to the point that I know WOFT requires 110 GT, 40 SIFT, takes applicants quarterly, 33 age ceiling, recommendation process, etc., etc... I wrote here to seek insight outside of what’s on paper from those in, have served or know those who have served in WOFT. Largely, as know officers and enlisted and even come from a military family, WOFT is attractive to me but I do not know anyone now or retired who has done so. I’m simply asking for insight, less about standard application, guidelines and procedures.
Any insight you have having served is helpful and appreciated.

I'm not saying you want this, also, I don't know how easily or if at all one could bridge to warrant or commissioned flight pilot or nav/WSO this way, howeverz, I !erely offer it as food for thought, that's all, honest....

I explicitly looked up age waivers generally, they do apparently exist for Navy I'd seen up to 29 on case by case, with he double masters, that's why I think it'd def be worth your at least asking, I didn't look at the other sites or svcs, however, I can't imagine one couldn't apply to be at least reviewed, you could offer them quite a good deal at your level, Army WOCS only needs high school, I'm unsure how Army nav/WSO is handled, however, trust me, def think about rear seat spots, not just pilot/aviator, when I'd been in, USAF opened aviation unit command to have/WSOs, I recall that, explicitly, so I assure you, such spots would be well wort your time to check, I'm unsure if age waivers for them are as stringent, you'd need to check that, obviously....
