Hi everyone, i am 30 years old and a year away from my associate degree. My dream is to become an army pilot, due to family issues i have to put my education and dream aside, but i see there is something call street to seat program. I talked to my local recruiters yesterday, one of them told me it is only for high school students, the other one told me that i gotta have pilot’s license. I need everyone expertise and guidance. What should i do? Thank you

If you have dreamed of becoming a helicopter or fixed-wing pilot, the Army can help you turn that dream into a reality. Warrant Officers fly some of the most exciting, technologically advanced aircraft in the world.

I think you need to first enlist as something else.... I'd look for any job near aviation so that your mentor can be Army pilots. Then you can reenlist/apply to be a warrant.
It will take a few years. *But it will still be faster than gathering up a large sum of money to pay to a flight school, oh and competing with the 1000s of others dreaming of flying.
The recruiters are blowing you off because they can't place you as a pilot right away....
Think about it. These pilot schools cost tons of money, they aren't just going to turn you into a pilot and then you run off. Do a term and then you can do whatever you want.

Wrong. You can apply directly for a flight warrant officer MOS. No degree, no pilot's license required, no enlisted time.
Jamie Kwok, don't let anybody tell you you have to enlist first to become a flight warrant.

Thank you for replying. I am thinking about it since every local recruiter told me the same. I will try all the county in SoCal before i give in.
