WOFT National Guard

[medicnomore]

Thank you for reading this in advance.

I'm in the process of building a WOFT packet and I am nearing the end of the process, and looking for some guidance. As far as LORs I am planning on using my current Medical Director (Doctor who runs our 911 EMS organization) as well as a pilot out of an aviation unit I volunteer for. I understand the selection board looks for current Army Aviators. My first question is how do I respectfully ask for a LOR from current Army Aviators. I understand it is a big ask, and I would like to go about it in the correct manor. 

Second, I have my flight physical scheduled for early January. No issues expected, I am healthy with no significant medical history and not on any medication. Is there anything in my power as an applicant I can do to speed the process of the flight physical?

Third, how do you stand out as a competitive candidate on the oral board? What do they look for in terms of character traits?

If you’re looking to join the National Guard it may be helpful to contact the Warrant Officer Strength Manager (WOSM) for the state you are interested in. Here is a link to help (https://nationalguard.com/contacts/wosm). You can kind of think of the WOSM as a warrant officer recruiter. They’ll be able to give you some guidance and advice on contacting the aviation unit in your state, and help with your packet. If you don’t already know, not all states have a street to seat program, the WOSM will be able to tell you more about how your particular state selects aviators.

 

Good luck!
