I'm currently finishing up my AA degree and having a hard time of deciding whether or not I should enlist into the Army or apply to WOFT. I was going to flight school, but had to stop do to the expenses of college and flight school. Whenever I have been to the recruiters they say to go ahead and enlist into an aviation unit, then go off to WOFT. I just want to make sure which way would be best. I want to fly more than anything. Thank you in advance.

Do what you want to do. If you want to learn how to fix helicopters before flying them, then do that. If you want to shoot guns and jump out of planes first, then do that. If you want to be a crew chief or flight paramedic in the back of the bird, then do that first.
But if you only want to fly, then apply to that. One isn't better than another.

I will never understand why recruiters or anyone says to enlist first and then go Warrant. This irritates me to no end. Save yourself the heartache and wasted time and just go Street to seat. Find yourself a recruiter willing to put in the time to get your packet together. If the recruiter tells you to go enlisted first, kick them to the curb. I did gain a lot of experience doing the enlisted route first, but honestly, I wish I would have gone warrant sooner.

You should absolutely 100% finish your AA before doing either. Your AA will carry a lot of weight within the military.
