My son is a junior in High School and is considering enlisting into the National Guard. Ultimately he wants to be an Army Warrant Officer Pilot. What are the best MOSs he should consider that would help prepare him to be Warrant Officer Pilot?

Any MOS can go to flight school. Getting a 15 series MOS that is not E or W (those deal with unmanned systems) may give him a slight advantage because he may have an easier time getting his letter of recommendation a little easier since he’ll have an opportunity to get to know people. Especially if he goes 15T or 15U and becomes a Crew Chief/Flight Engineer.

Does he want to be a pilot in the Guard/Reserve or Active?

I think it is much less an MOS and much more aptitude.

Why not the Street to Seat program? And welcome to Rallypoint, Captain.

MOS does not matter. But if I had to pick and it was available you might want to look at a 15 series. But again, it really doesn’t matter as much as you flight test, recommendations, and being medically qualified.
