Hello

I am a 32 year old private fixed wing pilot. An army recruiter
promised to get me into Fort Rucker if I joined. Here is the problem -
after the boot camp I will still be an E3, to go to WOFT one must be an
E5 or better. Question-- can they put in my contract that I am going to
Fort Rucker upon completing boot camp?


I am currently serving with the Army as a AH-64 Apache armt dawg. I am
28 and also a fixed wing pilot with 288 hours. I joined the Army to go
WOFT but had to go enlisted first because I need to be a US citizen and
I am doing the military naturalization thru Army service, long story
short, ask me anything you want to know about the Army, MOS 153A and
flight training program. Who told you that you have to be E5 for WOFT?
That is wrong info. 153A is the only MOS that doesn't require prior MOS
related experience. Why do you want to go to Fort Rucker? You can only
go to Fort Rucker for AIT if you are 15P or 15Q MOS series, that is
flight ops and air traffic controller. Furthermore, not to make you
upset or anything, WOFT age cut off is 32 at this point, but also the
recuiting website says if you didn't turn 33 by the time selection board
convenes you are good to go. You can still do an age waiver on the other
hand, provided you are an excellent soldier. Can they put Rucker in your
contract, if you are going for 15Q or 15P yes that will be in your
enlistment contract.
