SGT(P) Private RallyPoint Member6699005<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I'm 92A SGT stationed in Ft Wainwright, AK. I am currently working on an Aviation Packet with 29 March 2021 deadline. Thanks to the chief in my unit (923A), my packet is mostly complete - I'm waiting on Flight Physical to get back as well as on my LORs.<br />Letters of Recommendation from my CDR and BC should not become a problem - but, understandably, these people are busy and will take some time to review my files. Currently, ETA for these two letters is somewhere in the middle of February.<br />My issue arises from the fact that I'm PCSing February-March timeframe, and my next station, Ft. Leavenworth, does not have any pilots. I'm concerned that the timeframe won't give me enough time to seek out a Senior Warrant Officer after my packet is complete in my current station. Simultaneously, there won't be any SWOs available in my next duty station.<br />My unit chief is going to reach out to his connections, but I would like to tackle this from my angle as well.<br />What would be the best course of action? Should I seek out a SWO in Ft. Wainwright before my packet is complete? Should I try to connect to a SWO in Ft. Carson (which I think is the closest base where pilots are) ?What's the best course of action to get a SWO endorsement for an aviation packet since I PCS soon and my next station doesn't have pilots?2021-01-28T02:31:51-05:00SGT(P) Private RallyPoint Member6699005<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I'm 92A SGT stationed in Ft Wainwright, AK.

I’m currently stationed on Fort Riley (in your route to Leavenworth. Though I’m not a pilot, I am working in the aviation brigade; I could see if there’s a CW4 or 5 willing to take a look at your stuff and make up a letter for you. Show me what you got<br /> [login to see] Response by CW2 Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 28 at 2021 6:35 AM2021-01-28T06:35:09-05:002021-01-28T06:35:09-05:00CW2 Private RallyPoint Member6699400<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Try and find a SWO on Wainwright beforehand and explain everything, usually the Warrant is one of your last stops in the packet, but it's not a rule. Explain and see if they will help you out. From Leavenworth there is Riley and Leonard Wood that are closer than Carson. But you can always do a virtual interview. I did mine on the phone from Carson while my SWO was in Afghanistan and it worked fine...it was actually easier to get than the Company and BN ones....Response by CW2 Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 28 at 2021 7:59 AM2021-01-28T07:59:38-05:002021-01-28T07:59:38-05:00CW2 Private RallyPoint Member6759868<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I should have your letter in my inbox today Sgt Shakirov; be on the lookout!Response by CW2 Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 19 at 2021 8:51 AM2021-02-19T08:51:44-05:002021-02-19T08:51:44-05:002021-01-28T02:31:51-05:00
