Brian101193 Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Yeah,,,,went direct to 1LT. Got tired of working for some dumb RLO, so I figured I would be that guy. ....I wish I had never done that as they suck your brains out when you pin on the new rank AND you don't get to fly as much. Everyone makes a mistake now and then I guess! Except for the fact that being an RLO made it easy for me to get the FW transition, I should have just stayed a Warrant....would have spent a LOT less time flying a desk and had more fun. May even had stayed past 20 years if I had stayed a Warrant and not gone RLO. As an RLO, I had had all the fun I could stand by the time I hit 20 and just got out as fast as I could. Do you know if that's something that still happens? I figured nowadays they'd definitely push you through OCS as opposed to giving you a direct commission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that the process DOES come and go from time to time, though. As a Captain, I had a CW3 working for me that I knew when he was a Major and I was a W2 where he had gone back to being a Warrant. I suppose this all depends upon "the needs of the Army", huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it can go both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was later a captain for US AIR and got recalled back into the service to go play in the sandbox. He recently retired from the Air force as a full bull Colonel and went back to flying for US Air (now American, I guess). I knew another Army aviator (an 0-2 at the time, IRRC) that transferred to the Coast Guard so he could fly their Falcon 20s... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Lyman Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 You never know how you might end up in the Army. I left the AD Navy after flying Seahawks as an O-4. Seven years ago, after taking nine years off, I joined the FL ARNG to fly Blackhawks as a CW2.. We have several Os that reverted to warrant in our unit. We had only one warrant that went to officer.
