Was wondering once I complete my packet. This is a goal I’ve had for a very long time. What are the odds of getting accepting?

Have you hung out with Aviators and asked to go on orientation flights? I used to go up in OH-58's all the time.. even had some stick time. My friend E-5 19D had a chance encounter along with me at a Med Hold unit with a Major General and he asked if he could be of service.. My friend said he wanted to fly... low and behold wish granted... He's been flying over 13 years now. So sometimes it's who you know.

SSG, with that minimal information you provided it seems you could be a potential candidate. The probabilities are high because of the pilot shortage. I suggest you to not be like most Soldiers who never complete their packets. I know you have other things to take care of but you have to make it a priority to get it done. First two things you must do is take the SIFT then you flight physical. In the mean time, download all required paperwork and fill them out little by little. Write you own LORs for the Company CDR and BN CDR to make it easier for them to just sign it (just a suggestion). Get that checklist and start consolidating all supporting documents. Make a digital folder and don’t stop until you have it completed. If you need help, contact me at [login to see]

The chances are as high now as ever. We are definitely short-handed so don’t delay!

SSG (Join to see) Just following the packet checklist from the recruiting site. Attention to detail and put out the best product possible. Treat it as though you only have one shot at it. You will find more than a few threads on here with tons of other tips as well, best of luck
