Any Warrent Officers that can help me with WOFT? I am 17 and when I turn 18 I would like to send in a packet. I have my private pilots license and that should help. My recruiter said I'm to young and don't have a degree so have a very slim chance of being accepted. Antbody out there can give me insite on how to better my chances? And is there any way I could get in?

First off, you need to be talking to Warrant Officer Recruiting if you want to go that route. The link I posted early had a schedule of briefings, find the one closest to you and email the contact listed about your interest and how to attend. These guys will give you a realistic assessment of whether it will be worth your time to try the High School to Flight School or enlist and try a different route. Read the information on the Contact Page and go through the FAQ and the requirements, then E-mail the contact listed on the briefing you prefer to attend.

I know several WO1s who came to WOCS directly from high school and are now flying. Being a civilian you will deal only with a normal recruiter, not a warrant officer recruiter. They work specifically with active duty applicants. The forums on verticalreference.com have some great insight as far as what other applicants are submitting paketwise and what is getting selected.

Your packet will be compared against other people with degrees and licenses and the like. Your packet just needs to be super competitive. High ASVAB, SIFT scores. And killer letters of Recommendation will help.

So you think I have a shot at 18 if I have a private pilots license, great LOR, and some other achievements? I can get in the 80s on my ASVAB and my pilots license will help on the SIFT I am also studying for it. Casey McCammon

Just be careful. The hidden figures portion on the actual SIFT was nothing like any of the study guides. And I’m not going to lie, being 18 isn’t to your advantage. But the other things should help to balance it out. Also, nailing the board interview. They will get a good sense at the type of person you are.

No worries. I just finished putting my packet in so it’s pretty fresh in my mind. Also do not sluff off on your PFT. It’s not worth as many points as high test scores but you do still have to pass it so you might as well ace it

Nonsense, test scores get you in, maturity level is big and show great desire. Be persistent. Don’t give up, you can get accepted at a young age and getting your license shows that you have the talent. Contact Army HRC and get the ball rolling.
