Link didn't work, how else can I find it? My recruiter gave me the unofficial FINSEL just waiting for the oath to sign.

How long was your packet was at PERS confirmed accepted to receive the Oath of Office? Just asking for your personal experience, I can see a trend through tons of threads. That's the level I am currently at. The story of our lives "Waiting on PERS"

Great responses! I'll look into it. DCOIC here I come

Hey guys, I'm a newly selected Navy ENS coming from the Army ( Prior Chief Warrant Officer 2) Pilot and I'm wondering if I need to go to ODS or OIS if I've already completed the Warrant Officer course. I assume no. I have a lot of unit resources but I figure I'd try here first.

Are there any graduate programs that allow you to attend graduate school full time and return to duty once completed?

Did you already sell the Casa?

Hey guys, here's another brain buster: Does my Army Flight pay clock continue in the Navy Reserves? What about the so called bonuses for pilots that the Army so willingly decided not to offer to their pilots?

This seems like a perfect place to ask for help! I'm a recently HSC 85 PSB selectee and currently an active duty Army WO. My recruiter has no idea how to deal with a active duty applicant, let alone a Army one. I'm lost when it comes to what I'm turning in paperwork for and what I'm waiting...

Any one have a packet "do's and don'ts" for the board that they would be willing to share for the thread?

It sounds grim for me then. I'll look into the Navy Reserve PSB for now as long as the unit doesn't get shut down. Or Air Guard...........,

Yes to clarify when I said "walk into OCS" I ment putting in a OCS packet. NavyOFFrec, I do have my degree and I am 33 years old. I have about 10 years of federal service towards retirement and about 1200 hours as a H60 Instructor pilot. Do I have any possibility to get into the Navy to...

Any boards coming up? I know the units are under scrutiny for budget in FY16.

On the subject of IST, can a Army Warrant Aviator complete a IST to walk right into OCS and continue flying to Fly Navy?

Well everyone I got the official letter "You have been selected..............................................as a alternate for the DCA program" I'm pretty happy I made it through 2nd time around, alas Ive have hit the 10 year TIS mark. Correct me if I'm wrong, the alternate selections only...

Which way is better because I'm in navy mode with a dash of army lingo?

That sounds accurate, so not technically a no go but they might as well say NO

The WOFT program is definitely a good deal. Flying experience is absolutely where the army excels at, the only problem here is that there's a definite line of segregation between Regular O grades and Warrant Officers that is almost comparable to the Enlisted. A grown adult can only be treated...

Well where's the message

Well I guess I'll go see my O5 and let him know about my intentions. We'll see what kind of repercussions I get.

That seems right, I guess I'll just address my chain of command and let them know what I want to do. Thanks

I need some advice? Should I request the conditional release before my Army AD service obligation is up? Is it worth even trying? I'm halfway through 6 years, but this my only shot into the Coast Guard DCA program? Please advise......

I would testify that being a warrant officer aviator in the army is miles ahead of being a RLO, in terms of being a pilot. The other branches probably fit right in the middle of the spectrum which is still better than being a platoon leader or a staffer. That's just my opinion.

SarDaddy, you have just lit the light at the end of the tunnel. Do you happen to know where he sent that conditional release to? Or maybe you can just point me in the right direction

Yeah I agree, I'm a AD WO and ill tell you if you didn't get WOFT and your going to continue with the army well you'll get flight school as a RLO but............your going to be a pilot in training for the rest of your career. It's impossible to get the same flight time as a WO. Not much...

How much Pilot in Command time are we talking?

With the multiple threads on this site on the process of going AD army warrant aviator college graduate to AD navy pilot, the consensus says call Bupers. More specifically the helicopter guy? Aviation community manager?

Man, the navy needs a direct commission active duty program other than the reserve option

So I guess there is NO way judging by the number of responses.

Nice, 29 is it then. Well is it a bad time for me to inform you that I'm 31. I'm guessing reserves is it, no matter if I'm already a rated aviator or not.

Hey what's the age requirement and years in service for active duty transfer to the navy? Waivers? I'll go to OCS and go to flight school again, don't care. I want AD if I can get it.

Last time I checked being above the rank of CW2 and so on, you are a commissioned officer. I'm in my case I have a 4 year degree and don't care if I have to do OCS as long as I get in and go 60's. Truth be told VR-57 doesn't sound so bad either.

Sounds good Gator, I'll stand by to see if you receive the message. I wouldn't mind taking a peak at it.

See that's the thing Highside, I can't find what the requirements are? I'll be back for R&R from the Stan in June so I plan on heading down there to talk to someone hopefully the Ops O

Freaking hilarious, Canidate! Next time I'm in San Diego I'm just going to stop by 85 to ask how to join the unit. I'm sure they'll point me in the right direction right. Oh and I'm really hoping the Army will let me go with the down sizing and all.

What was the joke? Elaborate........

Yeah, I made the same calls. I plan on going full O grade if they let me in. Hopefully I hear back from the community manager soon about the possibility of me getting back into the navy.

That's awesome, do you think I can get in contact with them to start this FAG process. 85 Is a reserve unit, right?

Greetings from Afghanistan, I've followed the links provided and they gave me great insight and it seems like I just need to talk to a recruiter once I get back and see if active duty is still possible.........CW2 hawk driver with 10 years till retirement ready to go back navy because the...
