All Aviators. Thank you for your time. Good Luck with your package! I am/was street to seat as well, I got selected on the May board. Based off your stats, I think package is solid assuming your flight physical comes back okay even without a fifth LOR. Side note, if you have had any tickets with a fine over $100 make sure your recruiter gets started on your moral waiver. (this delayed my package by two boards) here is the link for more information - U.S. ARMY RECRUITING COMMAND > In-Service Opportunities > U.S. Army Warrant Officer Recruiting > When Do I Apply? > Civilian (WOFT) Applicants Once again, good luck!

You’re more than good on military LORs, instead find someone local who has known you your whole life and can attest to your knowledge and character. Two of those and that’s all you’ll need. You don’t want your packet full of LOR from people you have just met. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My recruiter told me that the more aviators that I could get for LORs the better with the exception of being prominent members of community (police chief, politicians, ect.)

jkray Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 You definitely want to have someone who knows you well. Aviators are great but if you just met them the LOR won’t be filled with years of personality and character. Someone who knows you will show a more complete picture of you, and is arguably a more reliable “witness” to your maturity, character, and abilities. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
