Question
Sir,

I am an E-5 in the USAF.  My AFSC is 2T2X1 (Air Transportation).  My current DOS is Sept 2011 and I am wondering what would it take for me to cross over to the Army and become a Warrant Officer in the Logistics Career Field.  I do not have a degree as of yet, but i have plenty of experience.  I am on my fourth deployment in Iraq and do a lot of work with the Army.  This is something I really want to do.  Thank you for all of your help.

Answer
Thomas,
I'm glad to see you're at least staying in the military.
There's a program called "Blue to Green" designed just for folks like you.  Rather than explain it all here, I'm going to refer you to it's website:

You can even chat live with a recruiter at Recruiting Command headquarters at Ft. Knox, KY.
I hope it answers all your questions.
Best wishes,
Colonel H











Please excuse me for the delay, I've been off on a no-notice mission.
