Only certain MOS's are feeders for the WO program for us. Usually infantry, maintenance, and technical MOS's, no pilots at all for us though.

I went to a WO recruiting event a little over a year ago and was very suprised at the number of MOS's that do have a WO program. Like you said, they are considered subject matter experts and you see a lot of those guys in the maintenance field.

Trust me, the idiots still make it through. Hell, I passed the E5 test first try, without opening a book. I suppose the right test would be nice, but I don't see anyone making a test hard enough to filter out idiots.

As a CWO4 I have stopped several folks who failed to render a salute but do so tactfully and not as an ass. I was stationed for 6 years at our largest Training Center and most of the younger folks are confused when they first approach a Warrant Officer as they most likely haven’t encountered too many of us, only 24 in my rating in the whole Coast Guard. I do it mostly for educational purposes so they know and won’t be confused in the future and will from that time forward be able to render the proper salute.
Oh yeah I am not a pilot I am into civil engineering.
Both the Army and Navy have Warrant Officer Pilot programs.

Come down here to the ncbc in gulfport. It is ridiculous down here. Always 100% checks and stickers a must. My family can't even come down to visit without me bringing them through the gate even if they have a pass.

Good I am all for that, unfortunately its necessary these days, and I would rather you be caused a little inconvenience then somebody to report that you were taken out by some dumb ass terrorist.
Doing away with the decals and doing 100% I.D. Checks is the way to go. I still remember the day I saw a coast guard windshield decal on a car at used car lot, I swung around and told the dealer to take it off now and I waited until he did. Obviously some CG dumb ass didn’t take it off when he traded the vehicle in.

Any Army WO in here? If so, any prior infantry? Seems infantry can only go pilot. How hard/long was the process for that?
