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! :) Click the link below to see what it was like on my very first flight as a student pilot! th-cam.com/video/Cn_R3XBKaFo/w-d-xo.html
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!
@@XCimenaticGaming much love to our Canadian brothers and sisters!! I hope you are able to get what you want. I know in our military we have age waivers for pretty much everything so you should try to apply for one! Something I hear a lot here is “If you don’t ask, then you don’t get!” Best of luck and keep me updated!
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?
@@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
@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 😄
@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 😎
@@Runandgun13 not sure what Camp Mackall is but to my knowledge we just train in the Alabama/Florida area. Haha yeah I’ve heard it’s tough for some and I do miss it but it was the best decision I could make in terms of my current circumstances.

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.
Awesome!! best of luck!
Keep up the great content and strive for the best! You're gonna do amazing on wherever life takes you bro!
Thanks Dan! Hope you’re doing good bro!
Hey that’s me! Nice video sig! Best of luck in the future! Very lucky to have you as part of my flight school experience
@@whitewolf951000 thank you!! Not as lucky as I was to have you in mine!
Good luck with your next chapter in life, thank you for the study advice and overall help through past videos!
thank you!! I really appreciate that. Glad I could help!

@brundvn Can you make a video on why you choose to pursue a different route in the army?
@@heyomeyo3575 sure can

@@LJDRVR thank you very much for understanding. It truly means a lot. And I’ll definitely be learning as much as I can!!

How much math do you need to know? I'm doing pretty good in school but struggle a little with algebra.

@brundvn Awesome. That's honestly really reassuring. I'm putting my packet together right now and that was my only real concern.
@ of course man!! Good luck!
Did you through street to seat, if so did you have a degree or prior military experience when you got excepted?
@@Lowtaperjr334 street to seat but officer side with a degree. So no military experience prior to that
Thanks for responding, do you know how likely it is to be accepted to street to seat (warrant side) without a degree or prior military experience?
@ they need people so it’s not hard tbh. You don’t need either of those. I’ve seen plenty of people come through in your same situation
Thanks man
@ no problem! Good luck!
Did you drop out because you went RLO instead of warrant?
That isn’t the reason why but yes I did end up going RLO instead of warrant.
@brundvn Ah curious to hear why you decided to drop then, that was my best guess.
@@MrGhostsniperz video about that coming soon
Do pilots go to Camp Mackall as well? Should have stayed a pilot man, regular army is going be rough as a new LT. Better get your ranger tab as well.
@@Runandgun13 not sure what Camp Mackall is but to my knowledge we just train in the Alabama/Florida area. Haha yeah I’ve heard it’s tough for some and I do miss it but it was the best decision I could make in terms of my current circumstances.
@@brundvn i hear ya, good luck on your journey.
