Hello! I am at USMA and have been fortunate enough to get a most preferred rating from both Engineers and Aviation. I LOVE the idea of being a pilot, but am struggling to justify the ADSO.
Any advice you would be able to provide me? Is the ADSO worth it or would you steer clear?
Thanks.
Looking for help with studying in common core. I feel like I’m not retaining anything. I am missing stupid things during flight times and studying after is taking forever. I have no college experience, went right from high school to the Marines and then into the infantry. I’m here with my wife and baby. I am getting the DQs done on Sunday and then memorizing them before classes like people have said but I don’t know what else to do.
What are some strategies for studying and how can I help myself feel better about things? Thank you!
You think a helicopter crew based at fort Rucker would know better.
I am in the process of submitting a packet to go to flight school and was wondering if anyone has any answers or advice. The warrant officer recruiter I’m working with on the AD side just gives me a blank stare when I ask questions pertaining to NG, AGR or Aviation. I’m pretty familiar with the guard side of things and what to expect at flight school, I just don’t know from the AD side
For context: 12 years army aviation experience, E7, 1300hr CE/FI/SI on 60s
Questions:
-hurdles with the process coming from NG (AGR specific?)
-any shared experiences of people that have been in the same boat(pros, cons, regrets, never look back)
-educated guess on the time from packet submission to PCS (3 months? 2 years?)
-airframe choice(I don’t really have that big of a preference of what I fly but I’d rather not get sent to be a drone pilot 2 years down the road. Lot of rumors but never talked to anyone that has direct experience)
-turnaround time on flight school for AD guys
-rumor is grades and pt merit toward airframe choice and duty station?
Has anyone ever done the Motion Sickness training program ran by Lyster? If so, what was your experience with it? Did you go on to fully completing flight school? Did you have any additional adjustment period after you got back into training?
I haven’t really experienced regular motion sickness prior to flight school and got pulled from a IERW class to go through the program. Ive heard theres a 80% success rate with the program but was just wondering what some other people’s experiences have been.
