I applied in-person. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at US Army (Dothan, AL) in Jan 2011
Interview
I was a civilian who had applied for the WOFT program (Warrant Officer Flight Training Program). I had to take a series of tests to include the ASVAB, AFAST (now the SIFT), as well as psychological testing. Once I had completed all those satisfactorily, I was given a comprehensive flight physical and then had to attend a board interview with a Lieutenant Colonel and two Majors in Aviation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you and your family ready for this? How does your family feel about deployments and periods of absence? (Should really think about this before committing to the military).
