All,
Got a buddy who was headed down the path of going WO in the Army to fly. He has been out of the Marines for a few years (got out as a Cpl) and is completing his undergrad degree. He has a prior NJP on his record (minor offense "disrespected a 1stSgt") when he was an LCpl. His recruiter told him that was an "automatic disqualifier" and that the Army "doesn't grant ANY waivers for the WO flight program"....sounds stinky to me and that the recruiter doesn't want to submit his wavier. Anyone have any insight here or experience here? It's one thing if that is the deciding factor between him and another candidate but this recruiter is saying they won't even complete or submit his package due to the NJP. He has NO other bad paper and is a 4.0 student, stellar record other than this one thing. I'm suggesting he go to a different recruiter and try with someone else.
FYI, also been about 10 years since I logged in here...lucky I still have that email address to reset my password!
