Lindsey Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 The fact that you still think you shouldn't have mentioned the tickets, i.e. fraudulent enlistment, demonstrates that you didn't learn anything in the dozens of pages of help people have tried to give you in this thread. You also didn't defend any attacks on USMA grads; you gave them a bad name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stearmann4 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 United, For the most part this forum is academic, professional, and a good clearing house for perspective military helicopter pilots. I only participate because there aren't any folks flaming or creating useless threads or comments that we have to spend 10 minutes scrolling through to get the real information...except you. Do us all a favor, add to discussions if you have credible input, otherwise please refrain form giving your opinions and experience based thoughts when you have nothing to offer. Anonymity is for perverts, I'll be happy to send you my contact information if you'd like to discuss it further. Mike- 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnitedWeStand111 Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Roger that Mike, appreciate the response, and thanks for serving as well. With all this talk of low flight time due to draw down related factors, and since I'm doing well on the civvi side I may opt for the Reserve/Guard route. Although getting into the 160th would be an awesome thing (long term goal). I am sure they fly all the time, do high speed missions, etc.. but the tradeoff is they don't get to see their families often because it's so demanding I imagine. Honestly, I have no idea what i'm going to do w/ myself at this point. Its hard to see what life in any of these units would be like without signing a contract.

UnitedWeStand111 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 5 miles ahead of you, brother. Yeah you probably are. I've been working 50-60hrs a week so I try to run before, after, and during work as much as I can. It's never enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperGumby Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Here's a tip that applies after you pass WOFT boards, Basic Training and WOCS: Maintain your PT and get used to PTing on your own. Once you start flight school, you won't have organized PT or have much time to PT. The kicker is that your PFT score is worth one-third of your overall score in the Order of Merit (OML - basically your class standing). Aircraft Selection (for Active Duty Warrant Officers) is based on this list. Basically, #1 gets to pick his aircraft first. There's only a number of slots per airframe, especially guns. Another thing to consider is that if you're thinking of going SOAR later in your career, they recruit students who place #1 or #2 in their class. My PFT score wasn't so hot but managed to wrangle me one of the four Apache slots in our class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnitedWeStand111 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 The prodigal son returns once more... My brother met a recruiter in NY, who had become his in-law recently. He said he could get me in (Enlisted as E-4), and that my PDQ story seemed put of place. I'm faxing over my documents shortly, just to see if it's possible. Also, I read as of April TA has been reinstated. This could be a great chance for myself and others to pursue higher education and perhaps strengthen a WOFT packet.
