Awest623 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Youre right, it has set me up for where Im going now and I should have worded it different. I honestly wouldnt be anything without my enlistment What going enlisted will do will give you sets of skills varying on MOS (unless youre 11b like me) and help you in theblong run for your warrant packet. But thats exactly what it is - long. A lot of people are dead set on enlisting and going Warrant but never get the time or are mentally drained by the time they have the time and i feel so bad for themI understated ya. I'm trying everything I can to go warrant. If that means I ain't selected as a civilian then I'll take the hard path of going enlisted. Although I'd rather not, I believe I'd be able to stick through it until I got warrant. On the other hand, people do get hyped up about stuff and never see through with it because it's too hard.

Captainstank056 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Yeah man, I was being pretty salty in the post earlier. Enlisted can have its perks and can make getting selected either much easier or much harder. If you go that way just never forget what you wanna do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And being an 11B is an amazing thing brotha. The most squared away and personable Soldiers I've interacted with have always been/from 11Bs. You better bid the 64 during selection once you get in though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I do end up going enlisted it'd definitely be in a 15 series job. Probably either 15u or 15t, maybe 15f. I think 15u and 15t would help me more with woft. And 15f would be good once I got out.

Don't rely on the FQ-NS packet you sent in, try making it stronger before the nov board! LORs, APFT, Essay. get it reviewed for competitiveness before the board.

Awest623 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I would wait till you get the results from the November board before considering to leave the aviation field. November will also be during the new fiscal year. I'm not an expert in selection rates but I would assume that chances are higher when the new increased military budget kicks in and no prior slots for the fiscal year had been given out yet.Called up a WO recruiter today. Told me the USAREC website is for AD applicants and there ain't a civ board till January Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR3Y3S Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Was finally able to register my account, been refreshing this page like crazy the last couple of days. Contacted my WO recruiters yesterday, and both of them told me to wait until the MILPER message drops. All this waiting is driving me nuts...
