Our units are on a deployment cycle of once every 4-5 years, except portions of our fixed wing units continuously deploy for OIF (Iraq) and OEF (Afghanistan). For those deployments we are offering C-12 school on a limited basis; we are inviting all Army aviators to contact LTC Jim Sedlak at (502) 626 5685, or by email to:

Fixed wing pilots from other services (Navy, Air Force) are invited to join us as well. We can help you process waiver requests as needed.
Senior officers (field grade) are invited to apply as well. We can support applications (reversion to) for Warrant Officer service, and re-application for Officer service upon completion of the deployment. For those field grade officers who are reaching their MRD, we would like to invite you to consider permanently reverting to Warrant Officer service. Warrant Officers have no service MRD like Officers, and can serve until age 60, or advanced to age 62 with an approved waiver request.
