From retail banker to US Army Helicopter Pilot, this blog follows my journey from the selection process, through flight school and beyond.

Introduction
I am currently in flight school for the US Army. I wanted to start to blog to document my journey, so that others that are interested in the process, or somewhere in the process, have a reference. I was selected to go to flight school as a civilian. This process is called either "Street to Seat" or sometimes "High School to Flight School". Basically, a civilian goes to a recruiting office, takes a bunch of tests, gathers paperwork, resumes, letters of recommendation, and goes to a board interview to be selected. After that, you go straight from BCT (Basic Combat Training) to WOCS (Warrant Officer Candidate School) and are appointed as a Warrant Officer in the United States Army. I'll get into the details in a later post.
Flight school is pretty demanding and grueling time wise, so I'm going to try and update as much as I can. We'll see how that goes. I'm about to be on Christmas Exodus, so I'm going to start of by posting what I've done so far and where I'm at in the process of becoming an Army Aviator. I'll get to that sometime this week.
If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions, feel free to leave a comment or email me.
*I went through and re-dated all my posts so that the post date is around the actual time I went through that portion of the course. However, dated this post the earliest so that it would stay at the beginning*
