I talked to an Army National Guard recruiter today about getting a helo slot. Though the guy seemed straight forward I left the conversation with a few questions. He said the best way to apply for a pilot slot (Warrant Officer) was to enlist first then apply for the pilot slot once I was already in. Is this indeed the best way to go? I'm a bit leery of enlisting, failing the physical or otherwise not getting a pilot slot then being stuck in a nonflying job. I've got a Bachelors Degree, and 3700 hours of fixed wing time. The Air Guard is a no go because my color vision isn't perfect, but I'm FAA unrestricted. Can anyone offer advice or shed light on the process for the Army Guard? Thanks.
