what exactly is warrent officer training...(WOT)?

Question

i want to be a helicopter pilot in the army,or navy and everyone keeps telling me you have to go to(WOC) but i dnt know wat it is............ or how you get into it

Answer 1

Warrant Officer Candidate School (WOCS)

You do not have to go through ROTC or be enlisted.

If you enter in the high school to flight school/street to seat program, you will attend basic training for 9 weeks and then WOCS for 6 weeks. After that you will be pinned WO1 and enter flight school. Flight school lasts for 12 to 18 months, after you get your wings you have a 6 year commitment to the Army.

Here is the recruiting website with links for civilian and military applicants.

Answer 2

In the army you will go to WOCS (warrant officer candidate school) at Ft. Rucker Alabama. Warrant officers serve under a warrant and are considered direct reps for the president. You are an officer that will focus on a specific as opposed to general officers who serve in a more general fashion. Just google warrant officers and you will come up with tons of stuff.

Answer 3

You aren't if you can't spell!

It depends on a lot of things. For instance, Army flight school at Ft Rucker, ALabama graduates if enlisted, or coming from a college, as a Warrant Officer!

A warrant officer is really a super NCO. They actually are not Officers, though considered to be as far as any Army Functions, and they are not enlisted. Kind of wierd. There used to be 4 grades, WO 1,2,3,4! I don't know how many remain today in the military!

Answer 4

A Warrant Officer is a special classification. It is the equivalent of a lieutenant, the difference lies in the fact that when a warrant officer is at the command of his helicopter, he outranks everyone on board (even a general) when it comes to FLYING matters: a general can't tell him (or her) what to do when it comes to a flight decision. When on the ground, that same officer goes back to being a "lowly" WO.

Answer 5

There are two ways to become an officer in the military:
You go ROTC, or at least through after getting a degree and go as an O-listed soldier. Or, you enlist and go as an E-listed soldier. Warrant Officers are officers who started as enlisted soldiers, from the ground up. They often get the most respect because the enlisted men (and women) know that they have been through the grunt work that they are doing.
