Battalion Board Interview


Recommended Posts

StockTrader, I respect and honor all human being no matter there religion, race, creed, sex, language, status, property, birth, profession/job and so on.

 

My SIFT test scores are not official. Although, I took a practice test and got atleast 90% correct on each of them except for the physics portion where I got 84% of it correct. I have some college credits and my GPA is a 4.0. I accelerated at baseball and soccer being drafted by the Valencia FC U23s and a part scholarship to NYU. Which they don't usually do. But they made an acception for me because I have pro experience. I also got into the NPSL for the brooklyn italians.

 

I have a youtube channel with 100s of subscribers. Where I coach and teach others that they can do it too.

 

I receive allot of requests to develop other companies brands once they saw I know how to do that. Most of those corporations are doing much better now. So my subscribers dropped from 65,000 to less than 400 because youtube deletes them if they don't watch videos now. And sense I don't upload. They get deleted.

I also trade bitcoins on the side.

So I make good financial decision. And I would probably make some videos about my experience becoming a pilot. So we can help train the next generation. You gotta have pilots to make new ones.

 

Got it. Handling criticism is a piece of it. You think you deserve it?! Why? Whats your GT and SIFT? PT score? What have you done to stand above your peers? Why should you be chosen over another 18 or 20 year old who crushed all of those things? I havent heard a single thing that makes you a great candidate except you think so. You seem un-emotional under stress? Great. Everyone responds differently to stress. My SP laughs out loud or sings under stress and hes one of the best pilots the Army has seen. So should we not pick you because you dont do that? Convince us why you should be welcomed into the corps.

You may think im being a d*ick but im really not. You can ask the members of this board whos packets ive reviewed and helped. Youve given nothing but fluff as to why you should get picked up.

Are these okay answers:

 

Why do you want to be a warrant officer.

Because I like leadership rolls that challenge me to consistently improve my self and in turn my team by example.

 

Why should we chose you to be a warrant officer.

Because sombody has got to do it. And I like working as a team.

 

Why should we trust you with a 20 million dollar helicopter. Because I don't drink. Also, because I have never been in a car accident. So I think I can fly a plane exceptionally well.

 

How does your family/wife/husband feel about you joining the military.

They admire my bravery. My father is a pilot and wished me the best. Like father like sun I suppose.

 

How do you feel about being deployed and away from your family for long periods of time.

I will like the adventure. But miss them dearly. If it's possible I will fly them out on deployment with me if it's safe.

 

Critiques are welcome.

Immediate no go from me with answers anything close to that. They show you haven’t even done the slightest research into what being a warrant officer really means. Five minutes on Google would have prevented that abortion of an interview.

I’m not going to tell you what to say. Do some research, figure out what your job as a warrant officer and army aviator will really entail and decide what makes you fit that role. Just because you want to fly and made some youtube videos does not make you qualified. My first suggestion would be to learn properly develop and structure sentences.

You can stop your lying. Division III schools are not allowed to offer athletic scholarships.

I thought this was a section where I could get help with my application. Most division III schools do allow scholarships. They have to be issued in the form of a leadership grant. And they are only allowed cover part of the tuition.

The fact you would even accuse me of that is offensive.

 

I would not be interested in lieing to you. Especially when I need help getting my application together. I have over 30 publishing on youtube and some invole the tryouts for those teams. And showing that I did make it.

If you had simply watched it. You would know that I did make it.

 

 

You don't seem like a very good leader. You just seem like. You think that because your older, that you are better than everyone else. And you go around treating everyone who you deem lesser than you, like sh*t.

You just seem like nerd. I don't want to continue this conversation because we are not accomplishing anything. Bye.

So you don't even bother helping. You just privide direct critisim? This is the definition of an internet troll. Not me. I don't see how that is even relevant to our conversation. Maybe you should go google how to communicate. I don't need people like this in my life. And you won't be at the rate your going.

I offered help by telling you to do some research. I offered additional help by suggesting you use proper sentence structure when communicating online in order to not appear to be an idiot. If you don’t want people like me in your life you certainly don’t want to join the Army.

Great, now he is affiliating him self with the reputation of the entire army. This is the most irrelevant piece of information you have come up with so far. This conversation is getting a rise out of me. Which is what you want evidently. I gave you a warning to back off politely. So now I am blocking your messages. Because nobody wants to be irritated. And I have more productive things to do with my time.

What a joke. I have no interest in getting a rise out of you and don’t care in the least if you want to block messages. You asked for help and got butthurt when you didn’t like the answers you were given. If you manage to join the military you will be eaten alive with that kind of attitude.

Just finished my board interview today. Feel free to ask any questions, but it basically went down as others have said other than I actually had 4 officers on my board instead of 3. I had to knock 3 times, enter and report to the board, then sit when told.

 

They asked questions like:

 

What's do you think the differences between a commissioned officer and warrant officer are?

 

Does your family support you in your decision?

 

What kind of responsibilities to you think you will have in the Army as a leader?

 

What are the Army values and which one is the most important one to you?

 

What personal value outside of the Army values do you think is important?

 

 

And a few other general questions regarding leadership and how I feel about the Army.

 

I was really nervous for the first few minutes, but warmed up to everything after a few minutes and did well. They really just want to see if you are a good fit.

SoCal asked me:

Why I want to be an army woft aviator?

What made me think I would be a good pilot?

Why the army?

How did my family feel about it?

In the last couple years could I describe a situation where I was in a leadership position and had to deal with someone who wasnt cooperating with the group. And how I fixed said situation.

The also asked if there was anything I was afraid of.

Just finished up my board interview for the National Guard. I met with 2 commissioned officers and a Warrant Officer via FaceTime. It was an Interesting experience doing it remotely and I’m hoping I did well. Was advised that they would be deliberating over the next few weeks and would get back to me once they made their decision. I was incredibly nervous going into it but feel good now it’s over. They asked the same types of questions you see throughout this thread. It’s in God’s hands now..
