I am really looking into trying to put in a Warrant Officer package in the National Guard to fly Helicopters. Has anyone gone this route?Has anyone gone from USMCR to NG and completed a Warrant Officer package?2016-09-12T02:04:44-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member1884039<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My contract with the USMCR is coming to an end (05/17).

I would find a NG recruiting office and get more detailed information. Just some advice, if your goal is to fly, don't limit yourself to just Kentucky or to just the Army Guard, the Army Reserves, and other reserve branches have rotary pilots slots as well, also don't limit yourself just to the warrant option to fly, in certain cases commissioning to fly, can be a point of less resistance, to get your wings. And if your ultimate goal, is still to be a warrant aviator, you can always transition from commission to warrant.Response by MSG Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 12 at 2016 3:41 AM2016-09-12T03:41:22-04:002016-09-12T03:41:22-04:002016-09-12T02:04:44-04:00
