WOCs Inter-service transfer

I’m a E-5 In the Air Force with 6 years TIS my current AFSC is 3P071 (Security Forces) . I found out I got selected to be a warrant officer for aviation in the recent July board selection results. I have a ton of questions that my recruiter hasn’t been able to answer just yet. Maybe someone here can help me.

1.) when should I realistically expect to get an actual class date for WOCs ?

2.) Being SF do I have to go to boot camp again before WOCs ?

3.) How is out processing the Air Force and terminal leave and reenlisting into the Army going to look ?

4.) I’m getting married soon to my AF girlfriend. How will that work with me leaving for WOCs ?

AZ recruiter

Does anyone have any contact information for an Arizona recruiter who is familiar with putting together WOFT packets? I don’t want to waste time going to someone who isn’t familiar with the process, as I’ve been told that only a couple of recruiters actually know how to put them together or are willing to help with them.

Is WOFT worth it ?

I’m an E-5 with 5 years, currently working on my WOFT packet. I’m trying to figure out if making the jump to Warrant is worth it with the current situation aviation is in. For those who have gone WOFT, would you do it again? How’s the quality of life, job, and overall experience compared to being enlisted? Just looking for some honest opinions before I make the decision.

Flight physical shenanigans

Not totally positive this is the best place to ask this but I’m desperate at this point.

Roughly 6 months ago I submitted my class 3 flight physical to fort Rucker to hopefully go be a flight paramedic. Currently it is still “submitted and waiting approval” on the aeromed website. Does anyone have any points of contact for those guys at Rucker or any tips to get this process sped up? It’s literally the last thing I need to submit my packet and get an ATRRs slot.

Thanks in advance!

WOFT

Hey guys, I’m wondering what makes a competitive applicant for getting picked up as a warrant officer Pilot in the army guard.

As of now I’m a E5, been in 5 years and have my PPL+IR and am taking my CPL and MULTI check-ride this month. ASSLT school grad. Not sure if any of that really matters tho. From what I can tell online prior flight experience doesn’t really matter?

What does matter? What can I do to separate myself from the rest? Also It’s been my dream to be an airline pilot ever since I was a kid and that’s my ultimate goal at the end of the day.
The market for CFI’s isn’t great atm so I figured getting the R-ATP at 750 as well as the flight hours from Rucker would boost my career path to being an airline pilot. Does anyone have any experience doing both airlines and guard? Does that work well or is that hard to do?
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Infantry -> Pilot

I would love to fly anything first of all. I need help. I want to do infantry first in the army and I’m curious if going from infantry to WOFT is possible. I want to try and get a degree while I’m in I would just like some more knowledge and advice.

Or would I be better off doing the street to seat program?

Letters of recommendation

Hey everyone, 23 years old, I need a few more solid LOR’s I met a retired CW5 on a flight from Anchorage to Seattle and after speaking to him and asking questions he said he could write me a LOR. I don’t want to depend on just him and was wondering if anyone would be willing to point me in the direction of any active duty that could possibly interview me. I’ll also send over a draft of my essay.
