I&#39;m a civilian though.

Also, unless there&#39;s been a change, the LOR can be from any field grade so that includes CW3&#39;s.. I&#39;ve written one myself. <br />If you have a aviation unit on post I&#39;d start there for a LOR.

I assume you have support for this career move from your senior leaders. I would bet that one of two of those senior infantry NCOs may have been in a helicopter at some point, and may know some contacts in aviation. <br /><br />I would reach out to them to make an introduction. If you feel confident enough yourself, you can head to a hanger yourself and approach one yourself. Another good place to find the warrant officer unicorn is at brigade maintenance bays. <br /><br />Regardless of where you find one, do not waste their time. You better have your packet spit shined and dress right dressed. Some will read through it and conduct an interview; others may just pull an old LOR out and make changes. But, you should be prepared to be grilled by the Chief. 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Fri, 04 Aug 2017 20:11:49 -0400 2017-08-04T20:11:49-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-advice-do-you-have-for-someone-dropping-an-aviation-warrant-packet-how-do-i-get-these-letters-of-recommendation-from-a-cw4-5?n=2802244&urlhash=2802244 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I could be mistaken, but I don&#39;t think you need a LOR if you are doing it as a civilian.

Have you contacted an Aviation Officer Strength Manager? WO1 Private RallyPoint Member Sat, 05 Aug 2017 02:27:51 -0400 2017-08-05T02:27:51-04:00 2017-08-04T16:30:56-04:00
