So I'm generaly curious about flight school and doing aviation. I know that Warrant Officer and Officer are a thing, but which one should I shoot for more in terms of pursuing flying? I already have a bachelors degree, but I know that waiting for OCS can take up to a year of waiting to see if you get in, and I know the aviation area of OCS is extremely competitive (along with special forces and a few other MOS's). So generally would it be a better idea to try and go to Warrant Officer Candidate school? Generally just curious on insight and my options.

If you want to fly, you will fly more as a 153A than as an officer. If you are really interested, I would talk to warrant recruiting and take the SIFT test. There are more warrant positions, so that is a plus going into the process.

Of you want to fly a desk more than an aircraft, go Officer. You wanna fly aircraft more than a desk, go Warrant

Go Warrant. CPT Lawrence Cable is 100% correct. If you take a commission, odds are very high you will end up as a staff officer, which would impact your flight time. Most of the O's I know in aviation get just enough hours to maintain their flight eligibility but not much more.
