Thanks
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.
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.
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?
Washington State Guard - Wikipedia
The Washington State Guard is the state defense force of the U.S. state of Washington. It is the third element of the state's military forces which also include the Washington Army National Guard and the Washington Air National Guard.
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....
