Making the switch from Enlisted to Warrant Officer

I waited longer than was probably necessary, almost 5 years. As soon as you meet the requirements don’t hesitate and drop your packet. I was always one requirement short, before a new requirement was needed. In my opinion the benefits of being a warrant are awesome. You get paid to do what you love for the rest of your career. Unlike the enlisted and officer ranks that seems to move further away from their MOS the higher they moved up the ranks. Keep in mind that signal and mobility are open to any MOS, not just aviation.

Yes I have and I have assisted more than 40 others in the last 20 years. 

Thanks for all of the feedback. I have done some research into what the requirements are. the only waiver I would need is for my age. I am good on Pt, my GT is 127, I have received very good NCOER's and I feel that my most difficult task will be brushing up on the tasks in the test. I have downloaded the information from the Warrant Officer Recruiting site with the subtests to get an idea of what to expect. I have also signed up on one of the links on AKO that help you brush up on math, reading and vocabulary skills (OASC I believe). I want to be prepared as possible before even attempting to take the SIFT. Unfortunately I do not have much opportunity to "shadow" a Warrant in my unit but I will definitely seek one out to get as much advice and feedback as possible. I appreciate all of the responses and advice.
