Are there any Aviators that would be willing to go over my WOFT packet? Or discuss what it’s like being an Army pilot?
I’m doing everything I can to go Warrant and apply for WOFT. As far as the packet goes, I’m waiting for Ft Rucker to send back my Flight med packet. I have an LOR from a CW3 and my command. SIFT completed. Along with most of the application packet.
Anything helps.
Thank you all.

These might interest you, possibly...I'd known Army had rotary-wing flight test, I'd run across stuff on that, back when I'd been doing elec engrg (EE) before my total perm disability...most, I'd also noticed, tend to just think about straight flight, not the flight-test aspects, which can always lead to NASA, possibly, if you'd be inclined at all in that direction, just an idea you might care to think about, possibly....
