Its just really annoying though to be honest... I really just want to do it. And I know Im not the best street candidate, but I want to try without stepping on anyones toes.
Its my recruiter and the commander are saying the same things.

You can google a whole lot more but there’s some good reading on those two. The army doesn’t own you (yet). You aren’t stepping on toes. Ask the recruiter and the commander to show you the regulation stating you can’t apply to or be accepted into the WOFT program. You aren’t stepping on toes. I know you’re close, pumped up, and you’ve come a long way, but you need the pump the brakes. Tell your recruiter if he won’t help you with your warrant application, you’ll find one who will (I still suggest the IG, because these lying clowns need to get spanked). They are not helping you reach your life goals of being an army and airline pilot. They are working against that pathway for you.
There is only 1 person who will EVER look out for you and your career in the army. And that is you. Your recruiter, your team leader, your squad leader, your platoon sergeant, your lieutenant, and your commander may say they are looking out for you, and they may sometimes, and will generally try, but they are worrying about a lot more than your career. Manage your own career. You have to. And that starts at the beginning.
