Question
can a warrant officer army aviator transfer to the coast guard if the WO has a bachelors degree? if so, what would the process consist of?

Answer
Michael,
Thank you for serving. I know quite a few Army and Marine pilots who made the transfer over to the Coast Guard and they absolutely love it. The Coast Guard is all about it's prior enlisted members, especially if they have an aviation background. Your best bet is to contact your nearest recruiter and get the ball rolling. Granted you are prior service and you may have to do a little bit of the leg work to get in. But it's all worth it. I was fortunate enough to have a prior enlisted recruiter that was in the Army that helped me out tremendously. So my opinion for you contact your nearest recruiting station.
I hope that I was able to answer your question if you have any further questions please let me know.
Thanks,
Eric
