| Army recruiter facts check - warrant officer and bonus questions?
I'm 17 and a junior in high school, and I'm planning on going into the military after I graduate. I have been talking with an Army recruiter over the past week about my options, so I want a fact check to make sure I'm not getting bad information.
Firstly, I want to be a flight warrant officer, so I am trying to find out the best way to get there. From what the recruiter said, it's nearly impossible to become a warrant officer straight out of high school and there are no bonuses.
Secondly, my recruiter told me that the best route is to enlist as soon as possible (April or May), because then I will be able to receive a $1000 per month bonus for every month of my senior year.
Thirdly, he told me that I should enlist, wait 6-8 months and gain some experience, then apply for the warrant officer program. He also said I wouldn't lose any bonuses if I was accepted and left my MOS early.
Basically, I'm just looking for some advice on whether this information is accurate. Thanks!
I should have probably mentioned that I have a 4.0 GPA, scored a 95 on the ASVAB, and will have my private pilots license by the end of this year. I could go to an academy or college if I wanted to, but I don't, which is why I'm looking into the warrant officer program.
