I am 25, have a college degree and im studying for the SIFT exam right now. I don't want to be a crew member, I want to be the Pilot. Also if y'all could give me some insight into your life as a warrant aviation pilot that would be awesome.
Thanks in advanced for helping a nooby like me guys.

First off, you're on the right track. Seeking info from those of us who have been there is an excellent start. I've been out of the Army for awhile now but find your way over to the airfield and introduce yourself to the aviation warrants there. Just like you did here, tell them your goals and seek their advice. If things are still the same, you're going to need a senior warrant officer or field grade officer recommendation for your selection packag. Go over to personnel and ask to visit the warrant officer there as well. He or she can help guide you on the requirements for putting together your packet.

I was assuming you're already serving in the military, civilian transition is a bit more difficult and many recruiters are not aware of the process. Look at this and see if it helps.

If your recruiter, or at least somebody in the office doesn't know about WOFT, they need to educate themselves. Talk to the Center Leader, they are usually the most knowledgeable.

being a recent graduate of WOCS i did see a 7 week class that consisted of "street to seat" high school kids. pretty much 18 to 20 year olds with no army experience and their job is to just fly. Give me your email and i can shoot a message to peer of mine who i graduated with. He ended up recruiting a high school kid that turned out to be in the junior class below us.
