Missing out by not wearing flight suits. Just saying Army.

[@codman2188]

We do wear flight suits. They just look very similar to ocps. Kinda wish we had better flight suits tbh

[@NotJustAnotherAverageJoe]

@@codman2188 I think he meant wearing them in the video, cause they look cool.

Idk why it’s always commissioned officers doing these interviews when warrant officer fly significantly more

[@danielboone6481]

Politics bro 😅

[@kutthroatbob8983]

Warrant officer takes years to earn

[@aidenheck2944]

@@kutthroatbob8983officers literally need to go to 4 years of college first, it’s quicker to be a warrant officer

[@plumcrazypreston2797]

Army Veteran here. In 1989, I asked my recruiting NCO, SSG McBroom, about the Army's warrant officer candiate flight school program for helicopters, if my memory is correct, and he basically said, "Sorry, son, you wear glasses." Corrective lenses needed? No US military aviator jobs for you. My whole 7-year army career was spent fixing trucks, pulling stuck vehicles out of the mud left and right, major sleep deprivation in the field, wrestling with those damn camo nets in the field at night with a flashlight, waxing floors and freezing in an occasional foxhole.
The cockpits of those birds look very daughting with all the buttons, gauges and stuff. I think you have to be both very smart and very brave to fly as well as not be a 4-eyes.

[@supremejustice22]

If you wear glasses, as far as I know, Lasik eye surgery is required to become a pilot. I have been told the expense is covered though

[@SavvyDavisGaming]

He's one of the best commanders I've ever met. I'm glad we deployed together.

[@hitthatrwnoflare9645]

I’m stuck between Air Force and army pilot, I want to fly jets but I like the culture surrounding the army a lot more

[@giuseppinavolpe2873]

Every work could be special or heavy..but you must admit best activity is when you afford sit without no one disturb

Bjornson sounds like a viking name.

The music is so good tho

[@wakawakakilo5164]

Bjornson mean "son of bear" super viking name

[@Robert-zr3xw]

He (a commissioned officer) does not fly much. He is generally a bureaucrat like almost all military officers. The overwhelming majority of Army pilots are Warrant Officers. Why? Because college is generally nonsense.

[@emilyburden24]

He actually flies quite often. This is coming from personal experience as he is my commander now

[@terrydavid86]

how about the Army let you wear traditional flight suits so you feel like an aviator

[@motivatorcarter8864]

I can't wait to do an ist from the Marines to the Army so I can do my time as enlisted Apache avionics armament repairer and than eventually become an officer or warrant officer to fly helicopters in the army

[@BPD1586]

Best of luck to you. That was my plan out of high school, enlist as a 15T then eventually submit a WOFT package. Unfortunately color vision deficiency ended that dream.

[@danielboone6481]

Go warrant if you want to fly forever. Thank me later.

[@YETI.922]

Why not IST straight into WOCS/IERW pipeline?

[@Yourmomsuccysuccy]

It's my dream to fly a helicopter, especially for the army

One year

Say you already have a 4 year degree, but no military experience. How would you become a pilot then?
