Crash7051 Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Well its about that time to do my do diligence and reach out for some LoR help from the community. I spent seven years in the Marine Corps as an Aircraft Rescue Firefighter, honorably discharged as and E-5. I have been in the civilian would for a little over three years now and have come to the realization that I would love to serve again. I have been working on my packet since May and have only taken the SIFT so far, which I received a 50. I had some delays, but I am back on track now with the process. I am hoping to lock down some solid Aviator Lor's to accompany my military and civilian LoR's so I can submit my packet within the next couple of boards. I am located in Southern California, I am not really sure if there is any Army aviation groups around me. I don't think there's much Army in CA in general. If so, any info/help would be appreciated! To all you hard charging vets in here, today is Veterday's Day, Happy Veterans Day! And thank you for your service! Stay motivated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedude Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 Find a CA National Guard aviation unit or call up to Ft Irwin and find the number for the aviation OCs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckylife64 Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Hey brother, USMC as well. Not trying to steer you in the wrong direction but what I did was literally get ahold of the the duty phone on the closest base and see what kind of units they have there cause they have POC listed for recalls and you can ask them to help you out. It worked in my favor because the WO that was on duty helped me over that past 6 months, introduced me to the other WO3-WO5 interviews, gave me some simulator time and helped review my package. Hopefully you can get ahold of someone like that. Someone that can guide you. I’m on the Nov board. (Fingers crossed) Kill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
