What guidance do you have for a civilian submitting a WOFT packet?

There's plenty of information concerning the WOFT program and applying if you're active duty, but I'm struggling to find information regarding applying from the civilian side. I don't have a DA photo or access to the people to write letters of recommendation. Any recommendations or checklists for civilians?

Have you contacted a recruiter? I can ask one of my classmates, but he's deployed right now so I'm not sure how soon I can get an answer.

Go see your local recruiter and they will set you up. They handle Warrant Officers coming from the civilian side.

Hi, I’m wondering the same thing.
I’m from Las Vegas, graduating high school in May 2018.
ASVAB: 72
SIFT: 52
GPA: 2.6 ( pretty low )
Community Service: 110 hours
LORs: USAF Colonel F-16 Pilot Ret.
USCG Commander Ret.
USN Navy Seal Ret.
(more to come)
JROTC: 3 Years
Resume Consists of 4 different jobs I’ve obtained over my HS. Varying in Lifeguarding, Construction, and Other.

I realize I’m at a disadvantage considering GPA, No college or flight time, and lack of military service.
