As a new registrant, you must introduce yourself before you can post in the rest of the forum.
***(Note: It may take a few hours for the system to register changes and open forums to you.)***
If you see any other registrants posting spam or acting up, use the triangle icon at left to report posts. Thanks!
- Please let us know a little about yourself - your experience, hours logged, what you fly, type ratings, position, goals in aviation, etc.
- If you want to protect your anonymity, you can say something like, "I am a first officer at a major American airline", i.e., you don't have to name names if you don't want. We recommend that you not reveal your full name or email address.
- After you've introduced yourself, the Pilot Lounge and Career Builder forums will open up to you.
- After you've been registered for 3 days with 5 non-deleted posts, you'll be able to see and post in the rest of the forums, as well as send private messages (PMs).

WARTHOG: I've been there (pumping gas, parking planes...). Put off military academy to study philosophy, then took 10 years to become both a military pilot in the Reserves, and an airline pilot. If you are unsure about the military - recommend spending time with ROTC Cadets or Cadre at your local college. If you would not be able to put your politics of philosophy second to their lives, then military is not for you. After 30 years of service, I can say it is about your fellow service member, and honoring your commitment to the people of the Country. Go all-in either way - nothing dishonorable about keeping to your beliefs and following the civilian route to becoming an airline pilot instead of a military pilot. I would not recommend doing both at once like I did - too much school, and not enough flying!
I recently went to UND for their helicopter training program, but they cancelled it upon my first year. Ive been curious about warrant officer ever since they provide a great opportunity to fly all the time. Im struggling on finding the best path. Ive mostly been interested in the navy but the army has a warrant officer program that im most familiar with. Advice would be most helpful.
