JH11B 37 Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 First off I wouldn’t wait six years(I assume) to finish your guard enlistment. Next you can join while in the NG but you will need a conditional release which can be very hard to get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RangeDrive 0 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Hey all, I have a question. What length commitment are you required to sign for when graduating pilot training? Also I’m current AD USAF, so I assume when I cross over I can roll what years I have left on my current contract into the required ADSC ( active duty service commitment ) for Army Pilot?

You will sign a fresh new ADSO(active duty service obligation). 8 years for helos and 10 for fixed wing. Someone correct me if they havent updated that yet, in which case it is 6 years. That time starts the day you graduate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nathan 0 Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Hello new to this forum. Wanting some insight into WOFT and eligibility. I’m 31 years old. A fixed wing commercial pilot/instrument w/ MEL. Over 2000 hrs total time. No college degree. Got in trouble when I was 16 years old and went to jail. Records were expunged at age 18. Physically in good shape. I did fracture my lower back in 2008, but no hindrances now. Thanks! Just want an honest opinion if it’s even an option!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If your back is fully healed your biggest hurdle may or may not be whatever it is you went to jail for. If it was expunged my guess is it wasn’t serious enough to be a permanent disqualifier but that is a recruiter question. If you are eligible to enlist and eligible for a security clearance, I imagine a flight board wouldn’t write you off over something stupid you did as a 16 year old 15 years ago, assuming you have made good decisions since then. Start working with a recruiter and see where you get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zaurus 72 Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Submit a packet, you have nothing to loose. Your flight time will not have a bearing on aircraft selection unless going Guard or Reserve if wanting fixed wing. There are times in flight school, the C-12 is not even offered. Personally, I would select one of the helos. A lot more fun and challenging. Are you going active or Guard/Res? 11 to 12 years either way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That’s where I get a little confused with guard or reserve? What’s the major difference between the two? Part-time/full-time? Short answer though I’m interested in part-time so maybe ANG. Thanks!

zaurus 72 Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Yes, initially the Guard/Reserves is part time employment with the same obligation of 10 years after graduation from WOFT. The Guard works for the state and the federal gov't when dictated while the Reserves are a federal organization. The best part of the Guard/Reserves is that you select your location and aircraft type if approved by that unit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cjord339 0 Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Hello all, new to this forum, I was referred here by someone I know as I am interested in WOFT. I am a recent college graduate with a degree in history and a 2.5 GPA. I am physically fit (played college football) and would be able to get good LOR’s from some highs ranking people (I also plan on reaching out to some CW’s for a potential recommendation). I took the ASVAB and scored an 87/125 GT. I also took the DLAB language test and passed (I don’t know if that matters). I understand this is a general question however what are my chances of getting accepted? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zaurus 72 Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 Time to throw your hat in the ring there 339. You have everything to gain and nothing to loose. Having your degree, you can check out the other services in a pilot contract too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
