I’m very interested in becoming an Aviation Warrant officer, but I’m not sure who I should contact. Some people were saying normal recruiters are not the route to go? Or is warrant officer considered an enlisted.

Thanks

If you want to go aviation warrant, you need to 1.) See a recruiter
2.) Tell them what you want to do, and be persistent. Don’t take no for an answer. The Army missed mission for recruiting for the first time in about 30 years. They need people!
3.) If there’s no program available to go from basic to warrant candidacy, you’ll have to enlist first.
4.) I recommend an aviation specialty, that way you’ll have an edge when you drop a warrant packet.

Hope this helps! I haven’t been a recruiter for a long time, but the basics stay the same.

Go with Colonel Mackay's post on that website. Ignore point three above, only because there is always the street to seat option (but you're welcome to go enlisted first if that's what you really want).
Finding a recruiter that's willing to learn the process if need be and can help you out together a good packet is key. They are picking up a large majority of civilian packets that get through the submission process, so just get it done man. A persistent and tactful not taking no for an answer is the best point above.

CW2 (Join to see) Thank you very much, like I said I’ve been away from the hell that is recruiting for a long time. When I was there, there was no “street to seat” option. Your experience is very welcome!

I saw what was sent just now, and obc do as was suggested...I just sent this as an alternative if only to start, as I'd told you, few know these exist, you're in lick, tour state has a state guard...now, I can't tell you to do it, of course, and it:s ovv your choice, I !eeely suggest as what I think would be a good way to at least get netter grounded, and see if tje life is for you...you can always transition to the Federal side later, as I'd explained, whether Army or another svc, I wish to God I'd known state guards existed before I'd ever gone in, honest...at least look at it, OK?

And if you want to speak with WA ARNG, the aviation units there are all listed on this page, I'm sure with recruiters who could speak with you, apart from the one already suggested....
