The question will be "what does the service, into which I want to go, need?" Then the offer will be something like "I am a WO [X], what would you like to do with that?"<br /><br />One last thing to know: The Air Force (and the Space Force) does Not have any WO's. My career goes back far enough, I had the privilege of meeting one of the last AF WO's (at Edwards AFB).Response by Lt Col Timothy Cassidy-Curtis made Apr 5 at 2021 7:38 PM2021-04-05T19:38:59-04:002021-04-05T19:38:59-04:00SSgt Christophe Murphy6881768<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The Marine Corps has very specific criteria for Warrant Officers. You wouldn't be able to cross over from another branch and pick up in the Marine Corps as a CWO-3. Marine Warrant Officers operate as subject matter experts with TIS/TIG requirements just to apply. I believe the Navy is similar but somebody from that arena will need to verify to be sure.Response by SSgt Christophe Murphy made Apr 6 at 2021 12:15 PM2021-04-06T12:15:47-04:002021-04-06T12:15:47-04:00PO2 Gunner Cee6882284<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes, Mr. Velado it is possible in certain circumstances (Reserve Component or Active Component) I have done it. I had transferred from the Navy Reserve to the ARNG as Enlisted. Picked up Warrant and after 10yrs in the Guard transferred back to the Navy Reserve as a Warrant Officer. Please review the specific services Inter-Service Transfer (IST) policies. Also identify the MOS / Designator manning levels. You can usually get this information from the community manager of the desired MOS / Designator.

Ended up retiring after flying Coast Guard Rescue as an O-5. The one major snag for those wanting to transfer is that there are no flying warrants in the other services and Commissioning requires a Bachelor's Degree, whereas the Army only requires a HS dipoma for Warrants. (Though further education is required for promotions beyond W-2.Response by CW2 Frank Trinkle made May 6 at 2021 3:13 PM2021-05-06T15:13:23-04:002021-05-06T15:13:23-04:00CW2 Private RallyPoint Member6995912<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes... It can be done. I went from USAF enlisted to USA Warrant/Pilot and previously my Father went from USA enlisted to USAF Officer/Pilot! Everyone ... and I mean everyone told us both It'll never happen.
