Are LORs from naval pilots an acceptable substitution for a WOFT package?

2018-01-14T00:45:58-05:00

Long story short, I was an E5 operations guy in the US Navy for just under 9 years, and am currently processing a WOFT package.

I worked in the reconnaissance and surveillance line of naval aviation(P3, P8, RQ),but didn’t have any experience with Rotary Wing platforms or communities.

Any past or present Warrants out there that could let me know if these pilots LORs are still seen as favorable?

PO2 Joshua Steele I would love to help you, but I have been retired for 28 years now, but in my day you had to be a Chief Petty Officer for some period of time and had at least 14 years service. That may have all changed in 28 years. I looked at your profile and could not determine if you were still in the Navy or not and when you served. I am also not aware of any WOFT in the Navy, but that too could have changed. Perhaps a more recent retired Navy CWO or better still one that is still serving can help you.

I can try to get you intouch with one of our Warrant Officer Recruiter. They have all the answers for you on this situation.

Hey shipmate, I’m in flight school now and dropped my package as an ET2 without any warrant LORs. You don’t really need one but I would definitely say they help.
