joegosch Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 I’m going to the board in October but I was told that it could take up to a year or two to get to to training. So in the meantime I’m going to be going to college. I was wondering what degree would benefit me and what colleges in Texas if anyone had any recommendations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaurus Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Being in the Army Guard, once completing your degree, you may have the option in switching to the USAF Air National Guard or Reserves in flying for them. It's done quite often. Is there an F-22A in Hawaii in your future in the Air National Guard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedude Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Just get whatever degree you want for whatever civilian career you want. As a warrant officer having a degree doesn't matter anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joegosch Posted February 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Well @zaurus , I am already enlisted in the army. But I do appreciate the comment. I am just getting a degree to further my education and help with my civilian flight job because I’m in the guard. Plus helps promotion.

mike0331 Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Mechanical Engineering. Good income prospects with the major, and will definitely help you understand whirly-bird stuff, though definitely isn’t “required.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a new rumor that I have not heard before. The USAREC Website still states the receipt of Orders within 90 days of selection. Does anyone have any additional info? With the 10 year ADSO and DOR being reverted to the Date of Winging for WO1s and 2LTs, an additional 2-year wait has enormous implications for prospective aviators.

He is Guard, they have a whole different timeline with sending candidates to Rucker. Once there however the Guard/Reserve guys are frequently pushed through the fastest and will bump active Soldiers out of classes if they need a spot. Additionally, orders within 90 days does not mean your report date can't be 6-12 months down the road after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
