    What was your experience like in your early 20s? Is there anything you wish you would have done differently? Oh, and drop a comment below of what you want to see next! :)

    After watching your videos, I made a 51 on my SIFT tests yesterday! Got an overall 113 GT score and now one step closer in the Street to Seat program.

    I am very curious as to why you decided to leave. I’m also an aviation LT that graduated flight school earlier this year and couldn’t imagine fighting to get the aviation branch, making it through 90% of flight school, and then leaving. Great video!

    Canadian here, always wanted to be a pilot but I'm heading off to basic on our side in a few months if everything goes according to plan. I don't know the specific age requirements on our side for what we call it ACSO it's like the guy that fly's in the back I'd like to call it the professional back seat driver, not sure what I should really do because again the age limits but glad to see you did what you thought was right, on our side everything is pretty fucked up so there's a risk of ending up on the wrong path if you choose the wrong career hope i'll be able to fly in the back seat of fighters hopefully if I do end up an ACSO part time, considering other jobs like loadmaster, infanteer or rifleman as y'all call it in the states, but you are super lucky to have a well structured armed forces with what you get to pick and how accessible it is wishing you luck on your career hope everything ends up well!

I know in our military we have age waivers for pretty much everything so you should try to apply for one!

    That's too bad you had to hang it up. I won't second guess your decision, because it was probably the right one for you and you were far enough into the program to understand the implications. Good luck with your service commitment, get as much education as you can. (Not PME or schools, but a bachelors and masters) Seriously, load up on it. Good luck!.

      @@brundvn No sweat, G.I.!
      Life has a way of turning out OK in the end. I did nine years of active duty in the USAF, never got to go to UPT, but still had a lot of fun serving. And the skills I learned allowed me to climb the ladder of my childhood dream career all the way to the top.
      My success wasn't in spite of my enlisted service - it was because of it.

    Hey man, so since you voluntarily dropped out of flight school which rank do you become? Do you remain a WO1? Or did they bump you down to E5 or something?

    • @brundvn
      @brundvn  11 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @@RotorSpotter_ I’m actually a commissioned dude so I keep my rank and just change my actual job in the army. The warrants either keep their rank if they opt to specialize in their original MOS (or become a boat warrant), get sent back to their original job and rank, or get booted from the military. Kinda weird how it works

    • @RotorSpotter_
      @RotorSpotter_ 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @brundvn Interesting. I thought you did WOFT at first. I'm working on a service transfer from the Marines to the Army via WOFT, so it's nice to know I'll have options if I were to not enjoy being an Army aviator.
      So I could potentially end up in a new field as a WO upon voluntarily leaving flight school? And would being "booted from the military" be an honorable discharge, or other than honorable? Could I still transfer branches at that point? It's cool if you don't know
      Also, boat warrant? Sounds like fun 😄

      @brundvn  8 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @CarverMenne I’m not going to lie, all you’ll ever do in aviation in terms of math is adding or subtracting and MAYBE a tiny bit of multiplication/division. And as long as you can do some “mental math” you’ll be A okay 😎
