Leave ROTC for Flight Warrant Officer for Aviation?
If you go warrant and fail flight school, you’ll be an enlisted guy filling a “needs of the Army’” slot without a bachelors degree.
Serving as an enlisted solder can be fun - I had a blast - but the pay is low and all the trash details suck.
1. Medical qualification. You must meet health standard, especially eyesight, in order to go into aviation. While many serve in uniform, some are not eligible based on specific deficiencies.
2. Physical fitness. Most uniformed personnel must be able to pass ACFT including pilots. You need to have strong score to be considered competitive
3. Mental qualification. You must have strong ASVAB score with particular focus on GT sub-score. Although some can do well on exam without college, you will be considered weak if numbers are not competitive.

If you have dreamed of becoming a helicopter or fixed-wing pilot, the Army can help you turn that dream into a reality. Warrant Officers fly some of the most exciting, technologically advanced aircraft in the world.
If you are an MS1 do you not have any college? This is really only a choice if you have a warrant contract. Otherwise, keep plugging along as you are till one comes your way. Good luck.
My advice is to look at the long-term option whereby you can attain both aviation and status as a Commissioned Officer.
Best of lucks on your future endeavors!
