Question
i am currently an enlisted soldier and would like to know the best way to become a pilot via  green& gold to officer or warrant officer. i am a 94r but i am really leaning towards officer.

Answer
If you go officer you leave it to others to decide your branch and your chance of being a pilot is greatly lessened. Going warrant would ensure you a pilot slot if you can pass the AFAST and a flight physical. Check for the packet requirements with your S-1.. both require a minimum 110 GT score and some other things such as age and recommendations.

I can answer questions related to the Army, posting, jobs, lifestyle, workings... pretty much anything you can throw at me with the exception of very specific recruting or medical questions. I have no expertise in what it takes to get in the military other than the fact that I, myself, joined at one point in time.
