So, the aviation board in my state will be meeting in a few weeks, and I just had a question regarding timeline for training, and whether certain courses were required.

I'm pretty familiar with the timeline if I were to have initially branched AV - BOLC, SERE, IERW, Airframe Training, but because of my transition as a 1LT who is eligible for CPT next year, I'm not sure of the timeline.

I will be RCCC complete (Logistics) when I attend flight school. Does that mean I will need to go to AVCCC before going to aviation-specific training? I know on the AD side, some aviators choose to go to CLC3 for their advanced course, so I'm wondering whether this will be an issue.

My fear is that they will even go as far back and send me to AV BOLC. Additionally, I put my preference as a MEDEVAC pilot, and so I'm guessing the 67J transition course should be included somewhere there too.

Any advice you can shed on this would be appreciated.

Not sure if things have changed since I went to Mother Rucker but all branch transfer officers I knew there started with SERE then on to the timeline you stated in your post. You will still do dunker first but that's on you. To branch transfer from 15 series to 67J you would attend the Medevac Doctrine course (2CF7) also at Rucker. This is a two week course that some flight students take during a "hold" between classes. Hope that helps. Best of luck.

Are you limiting the question to commissioned officers CPT (Join to see)?
I recommend you include warrant officers as well and probably non-commissioned officers.
I recommend you tag Warrant Officer as well

Sir, my question is limited to commissioned officers because they are an odd bunch in that transition can happen mid-career. I haven't ever heard of a CW3 or CW3 transitioning to aviation (although that doesn't mean it hasn't happened).

CPT (Join to see) - I was thinking more along the lines of an NCO who became a WO1, which is why I mentioned Warrant officers only. Some WOs are relatively new to the Army but others spent 10 or more years as an enlisted/NCO.
FYI Rally point has separate groups for WO, CW2, CW3, CW4,, and CW5 and also has groups for the corresponding USMC warrant officers.
