I’m really contemplating to either go 151A (aviation maintenance tech) warrant officer or 153A warrant (pilot). Any advice?

Im just having a hard time deciding on which one to pick, and looking for insight. I work with both pilots and tech warrants everyday for the past 9 years. Can anybody give some advise that would help me make my decision?

You got your degree - go officer. Don't want to wait 4 more years - go Warrent. If it was me, I'd go Warrant.

Well, the ADSO for pilot is a 10 year commitment, that may be a bit of a factor for most people

I've been flying Army for 34 years this past November. Very few regrets. Choose flight and track maintenance. You'll be living in both worlds and collecting flight pay.

What do you want to do after the Army? I retired at age 46 and plan to continue working for as long as I can and most can easily work longer after the Army than the time spent in the Army.
