I am starting an Application to become a 153A a Rotary Wing Aviator, I have found the Checklists and have an Idea of what I need to do to get started. Im wondering if there are any Active Flight Warrants who would be willing to help me with the process or at least be willing to point me in the right direction?

Find out when the next Warrant Officer Briefing is and attend it. It's about an hour long and they will provide you with a fairly good explaination on everything regarding the packet. I didn't attend one until I was nearly complete with my packet, but I did learn a couple things that helped me out. The NCO also reviewed my packet and pointed out small things that I should fix (remember that attention to detail is everything).
If you don't already have a GT over 110, go sign up for BSEP now and get it out of the way. Start studying for the SIFT too. It's fairly similar to the ASVAB, just tailored more towards Aviation. There are plenty of study guides online that you can use or you can buy one off of Amazon. Chances are the school or location that administers the SIFT is backed up, so be sure to call at the very beginning of a new month to schedule the test as it is a first come first serve for signing up. I ended up waiting about 45 days after calling just to take the test.
Also, get the process started on your security clearance if you don't already have one. You need at least a Secret to be an Avaitor. The proces can be very long for some people. Mine took around 18 months to clear from the time I joined the Army.
If you're stationed at Bragg, I'd be more than happy to help you out. I was recently selected in January so I still have all my paperwork and a fresh memory of everything that needed to be done.

What is on the website for WOCS packet submission is what’s required. You shouldn’t need help unless you are asking for an LOR. It will pay off in the long run if you can do your own research without asking others to assist you.
