Question by Eric W: How to become an Apache helicopter pilot?
I’ll be graduating from the ROTC program at Texas A&M soon, and I’ll be going in as an officer. Can anyone give me information about becoming an Apache pilot? Training, etc. Also how often do I get to fly as a second lieutenant? I’ve read that warrant officers do most of the flying.

As a 2LT, you would need to get branched into the Aviation branch. Then you would go to flight training at Ft. RUcker, AL and after your basic phase of that, they assign you to an aircraft. You do not have any control over what branch you get assigned to, so you may want to talk to your instructors now and see if they have any contacts that may be able to help you. You also would have to pass a Class 1 flight physical and flight test to qualify. If you are set to fly a helicopter, you should have looked at becoming an aviation warrant officer instead.
