Air Force Enlisted to Army Warrant Officer. Is the blue to green transition worth going through basic training again? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/air-force-enlisted-to-army-warrant-officer-is-the-blue-to-green-transition-worth-going-through-basic-training-again <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am active duty with 10 years of service. I was recently introduced to the Army WO program. It sounds like a legit transition but I want to make sure this is something I should pursue, or if I should just try my luck with Air Force commissioning. I know if I transition to WO that I&#39;d continue being a technician, as opposed to the roles of officers and SNCOs. I feel like I am in the right unit since it&#39;s majority Army personnel and we have several WOs. My MOS would be 255A. What&#39;s the normal day for an Information Services Tech? Are there deployments (if so, how frequent)? Also, is there any info/advice that my wife and 3 kids should know while I&#39;m transitioning through basic training, WOCS, and WOBC? The people I&#39;ve asked either have no dependents or went through this process years ago. Tue, 19 Jan 2021 12:30:40 -0500 Air Force Enlisted to Army Warrant Officer.

For me, it was the best career decisions I could have made. I enjoy being a leader, an advisor, and a technical expert. You should know that WOCC is not easy and WOBC is long. Depending on your assigned unit, there could be deployments and a lot of &quot;net&quot; training, or field problems validating your environment.<br />If you like getting your hands dirty and think you could best serve our country by being an technical expert, then it might be worth pursuing.

I&#39;m here if you have any specific questions. Bottom line up front: DO IT!
