How to VTIP From Log to Aviation
Hi all,
I just wanted some guidance on what I should do for my next few years in the Army. I commissioned in 2025 May and and my branch was logistics, but during my senior year and part of my junior year, I had taken the SIFT and I scored well (61) I did a flight physical and passed (currently redoing my physical to keep it up-to date)and I had recommendations for a packet to join (AGR) active guard reserve to essentially drop out of active duty and go to aviation in the National Guard. Unfortunately a month before commissioning the program in the National Guard was cut for aviation or at least significantly reduced to the point where when I applied the program no longer had funding/was cut.
I had to keep my original MOS, which was logistics and so now I’m working on ways to get back to aviation because I know I definitely do not want to stay in logistics. I was wondering if anyone here had an advice or knows anyone who has been through it.
I’m also considering dropping a warrant packet so I am not opposed to dropping my commission. From everything I’ve heard, it’s not all that different and I would get to continue flying for essentially life whereas if I keep the officer route and VTIP, I run into the inevitability that I will likely stop flying at some point in my career.
Thanks all!
