Should I wait for a deployment or until I make SGT or just start building it now? I am currently in an aviation unit fueling birds so I have a little bit of experience “around” helicopters and the flight line. I know this question is out there all the time but I am just not sure where to start. If you have any information or advice for me I would really appreciate your time.

There is no minimum rank requirement to drop a packet as long as you meet the GT and SIFT requirements. <br /><br />You are still relatively new to the Army so your lack of experience may end up hurting you as leadership experience and potential is a highly sought after quality trait SSG Private RallyPoint Member Thu, 16 Apr 2020 22:50:37 -0400 2020-04-16T22:50:37-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/how-should-i-go-about-building-my-flight-warrant-officer-packet-should-i-wait-for-a-deployment-or-make-sgt-or-just-start-building-it-now?n=5784605&urlhash=5784605 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Another point of advice, don’t ever let anyone tell you that you’re not qualified because of something. Let the board tell you that. Literally follow the example packet to a “T” and you should be ok. If the board tell you no the first time, try again. If it’s really what you want to do, you should try everything in your power to achieve that dream.

It will give you tasks that need to be accomplished.
