Aviation123 Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Greetings posters and followers. I'm grateful to say I was recently selected for WOFT (November USAREC Board). At the point, I am verifying the details of the Enlistment Program my recruiters have presented to me. For the WOFT applicants selected, please share which enlistment program will guarantee us a flight training slot contingent on passing the required prerequisite training courses. What Enlistment Program should be listed on section 2 of the "Statement of Understanding" presented by the career counselor from MEPS? I"m interested in conversating with Selectee's, and those successful individuals who have made it to Ft. Rucker for IERW and beyond. Looking forward to your feedback-Will-Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmurray Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Make sure it has you going to Fort Rucker for AIT. Also, WOFT should be on there. Your MOS should be 09W I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerospaceguru Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Any active duty guys on here that were sected? I'm trying to figure out if anyone else other than the civilian personnel received their WOCS report date yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkbro Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Any active duty guys on here that were sected? I'm trying to figure out if anyone else other than the civilian personnel received their WOCS report date yet. I'm active duty and I was selected but haven't got my report date yet. I have a buddy who just got out of WOCS and he said he got his date in a week and change after the results came out, but holiday block leave is probably interfering. I'm guessing we'll find out after New Year's. Keep us updated when you find out and I'll do the same. And congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkbro Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Ft Jackson feb 22.. then Rucker in May.. Any other females by chance? Looks like there were some active duty females selected. You'll probably meet up with them in WOCS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aviation123 Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Dmurray, I signed my MEPS "Statement Of Understanding" for 9D Option Request 12. With Basic Training taking place at Ft. Lwood and AIT says "Rucker". I have worked extremely hard for this, so thank you for your comment. This information coming from a source outside of my circle makes me feel more confident.  -Will- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetpilot30 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Just wondering if anybody has purchased or has some how got a hold of a WOCSOP manual. Ive been thinking of purchasing a copy just to read up on before I leave and probably end up taking with me to BMT. A friend of mine who graduated from WOCS about 5 years ago said it would be a good idea just so you are familiar with the SOPs when you arrive.

Trying to study the WOCSOP before hand is a waste of time anyway. You will have plenty of time to read it when you get there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBuzzkill Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Your family, friends, things and attractions in your local area. Oh really do not need to study anything ahead of time. I couldn't agree more. Everything from WOCS to flight school graduation is well structured to teach you what you need to know while you're in the course. Studying ahead of time really wont set you ahead. Some people recommend 5 and 9s as you get within a month of starting IERW. But if you struggle so much to learn those that you need to start ahead of time, you're going to struggle to swallow the rest of the fire hose too. Relax, enjoy your free time, and be excited for the direction you're headed. Read some Army Aviation books, watch some videos on YouTube, but don't waste time studying stuff that will be taught to you later. And clear your mind of all the rumors! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerospaceguru Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 I've been studying the lakota flight manuals emergency procedures and performance. I've also read the army's fundamentals of flight (FM 3-04.203). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also read the army's fundamentals of flight (FM 3-04.203).That's good! Learning your EPs now is good because you will recall them quicker when your peers can't during an actual emergency. The only way to really be ahead of the game is to already be a licensed pilot and fly regularly both IFR and VFR. Only then is flight school not a fire hose of information. It becomes more of just an aircraft transition with A LOT of hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
