"ArtKramr" wrote in message ... Subject: resign commission for warrant officer questions From: (1LT 15B in AH-64D) Date: 6/17/04 4:01 PM Pacific Daylight Time Message-id: I am a 1LT in the Army National Guard, an Aviator, and I would like to go on active duty. I have done some research and my options are to apply to the Active Guard and Reserve or enter as a warrant. I have been surrounded by warrants and I like them and there responsibilities are real important and it would be a great honor to be counted in their ranks. I cannot find out if I have to go to WOC school or not. I have been to Federal OCS at Benning and a Federal Law Enforcement Academy. I am interested in finding out if I have to attend yet another candidate school. I hear it both ways but no AR has been pointed out that states the facts definitively. Thanks for your help. Have you lost your mind? Or are you looking for a section 8? Give up a commission for a lower rank? You will regret it forever. Those captains bars are just around the corner. Hang in there and fight fiercely. Pardon Art for being utterly clueless about anything military happening post-1945. He obviously does not understand that the bulk of the actual flying duty in the modern US Army is accomplished by WO/CWO's, who are a bit less likely to find themselves pullling tours "out of the cockpit". I had a very good buddy who went the WO route after college; he later called me up and told me he was being offered a commssion in the MSC (he was then a Dustoff pilot). I told him flat-out that if he was really interested in the flying part of the job, stay on the warrant side. He decided otherwise, and took a commission as a 2LT. By the time he was a 1LT he was already getting tired of increasing BS--he left the Army before his O-3 board even met. Brooks Arthur Kramer |
