Default Warrant Officers and NCO's

Except for army helos, all US military flying jobs are reserved for commissioned officers (I saw an ALNAV indicating that the navy is experimenting with NCO pilots right now, but you would have to serve as an enlisted sailor before you could apply).
Army Info only! Not a jab at you Rickair but.......Warrant Officer Pilots in the Army are not NCO's, and are in fact Commissioned Warrant Officers. almost 90% of Helicopters are flown by Warrant Officers and the same for Fixed Wing Aircraft...currently the Army Fly's over 350 Fixed Wing aircraft. It all boils down to security clearance...actually I believe you can hold dual citizenship in the Army, but it may stop your from flying also. Times change....ask the Recruiter or go on line to goarmy.com and check out what you find. Then get a second (and third) opinion!
