The best rotary aviation unit in the Army.Response by SGM Bill Frazer made Apr 9 at 2019 1:53 PM2019-04-09T13:53:51-04:002019-04-09T13:53:51-04:00MSG Frank Kapaun4529716<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>SPC Kevin, don’t believe what is said here. The 169th is like the Southern Baptist Church, all are welcome and they take anyone.Response by MSG Frank Kapaun made Apr 9 at 2019 3:53 PM2019-04-09T15:53:57-04:002019-04-09T15:53:57-04:00SPC Private RallyPoint Member4530263<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The selection is random as far as I’m aware. If you know the right people you have the right to choose. 160th is pretty selective at times, but putting in a packet is the only thing to do.Response by SPC Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 9 at 2019 8:02 PM2019-04-09T20:02:24-04:002019-04-09T20:02:24-04:00SPC Samantha Hutch4533061<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>When I went through the school house it platform selection depends on if you're national guard/reserve/airborne (you will get shadow automatically). If that doesnt apply then it's completely random. There were some active non airborne guys that were chosen for shadow and some that weren't. I know nothing about 160th bc they only take grey eagle and I was airborne so I was put on shadow.Response by SPC Samantha Hutch made Apr 10 at 2019 8:14 PM2019-04-10T20:14:43-04:002019-04-10T20:14:43-04:002019-04-09T12:26:53-04:00
