<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I've heard a few different rumors and I can't bring light to any of them. someone told me that you come in as a W2 and somone else said you only have to go to the last 2 weeks of WOC. I'm asking because the E7 board convenes in one month and I'm 90% I will get my sequence number. I want to know if it would behove me to wait and drop my WO packet until after I pin SFC?<br /><br />Invite others to respond by typing @nameWed, 06 May 2015 16:53:21 -0400What are the advantages of going Warrant as an E7?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Does dropping your WO packet disqualify you from being considered for selection to SFC? If not, why wait?GySgt Wayne A. EkbladWed, 06 May 2015 17:50:19 -04002015-05-06T17:50:19-04:00Response by SFC James Rigdon made May 6 at 2015 7:51 PM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You can be selected by the Warrant Officer board and the SFC Board also, I had a friend that was selected for MSG and WO in the same month, he selected Warrant officer.SFC James RigdonWed, 06 May 2015 19:51:08 -04002015-05-06T19:51:08-04:00Response by SPC Carl K. made May 6 at 2015 8:51 PM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>For me, the prestige and the pay raise would be enough.SPC Carl K.Wed, 06 May 2015 20:51:06 -04002015-05-06T20:51:06-04:00Response by 1SG Private RallyPoint Member made Mar 19 at 2019 8:02 PM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There is no advantage to waiting, you do not get CW2. All WOC candidates will do a standard 5 week WOCs, If you want to be a Warrant Officer then apply you will just slow down your progression.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am currently going through the process for Warrant and have the advantage of WOCAP, Warrant Officer Candidate Advisement Program which is a GA National Guard Recruiting program. <br /><br />As an E-7 (and as we have been told), I know you go to 5 weeks WOCS. No question. You graduate WO1. However, E-7 and above, after graduating WOBC, have a promotion packet submitted for CW2 and that promotion is retroactive to your WOCS graduation date. That is straight from the mouth of a former E-7 now WO1 who was a qualified, graduated Basic Course, and was just waiting for his promotion as the packet had been submitted. <br /><br />That is precisely what I was told. I have not seen him since, but it was coorborated by the CW3 that runs the program. <br /><br />The packet takes a while. I’d start it ASAP. If accepted, you could schedule your WOCS accordingly. I can’t speak to it being an advantage. You get the first promotion at 2 years regardless.WO1(P) James JarrettSat, 18 May 2019 00:46:03 -04002019-05-18T00:46:03-04:00Response by CW4 Craig Urban made May 18 at 2019 1:57 AM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I wouldn't say there is an advantage per se. As a former senior NCO I would say it is more of a disadvantage. You may have the experience but these young Warrants really knows the systems. Also, it is a huge humbling adjustment. But being a WO is an amazing experience once you get through that first year hump.WO1 Private RallyPoint MemberFri, 18 Feb 2022 07:45:42 -05002022-02-18T07:45:42-05:002015-05-06T16:53:21-04:00
