What are the best study guides/materials to prepare for the Army SIFT test?

Can you give me some advice on how to get CW3 - CW5's letters of recommendation? That is the next hurdle I see myself facing. I know a lot of warrants in my transportation field, but none in aviation. Thank you for the help.

I would suggest looking for a reserve aviation unit close to home, or be willing to move to one, interview with the BN Commander and talk with the chief pilot there, that should get you a foot in the door, it would also help if you have most of your warrant packet complete, as that will show them they aren't wasting their time.

Thanks again for the help. I purchased a couple SIFT Test study guides with practice exams and the FAA Helicopter Flying Handbook to study. I also found on HRC's website some additional information I will need when submitting my application.

I have been reading that the resume is extremely important and that I need to equait my past experiences into how that will better me as a pilot. I think I am going to find this difficult as an 88N2O (Transportation Management Supervisor). The most I did in Aviation was operate cargo movement on the flight line and that was mostly fixed winged (C-130s). Any additional advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

What their looking for is being passionate about aviation. Though aviation experience will help, by no means do you need it. I have buddies here at flight school with no prior aviation experience. So on the letter you have to write in your packet just be passionate. Talk about how you thought about it growing up, stuff like that. Another major thing they look at is your da photo. Make sure it's perfect.
