2024 XP MILPER Just Hit the Street; Big Change!

MILPER 24-017 just came out, and now National Guard and Reserve Warrant Officer Aviators are invited to apply for Experimental Test Pilot training. This is a first, and I think a great change.

Your State Aviation Officer (COMPO2) or HRC (COMPO3) must conditionally release you, then if selected you will go through Call to Active Duty and become COMPO1. Once on active duty you will attend the fixed wing course, if you haven't already (5 year ADSO), then go to Naval Test Pilot School (4 year ADSO concurrent with any others), then in nearly all cases be assigned to the Redstone Test Center. Most Warrant Officer XPs remain in the test community for the remainder of their career.

The grass really is greener over here, if you are qualified and interested I encourage you to apply.
