Question: 
Can I become an aviator through the National Guard?
Answer: 

If a career in aviation is your goal, becoming a helicopter pilot is a first-class ticket. Helicopter pilots fly highly advanced aircraft like the UH-60 Black Hawk, CH-47 Chinook, UH-72 Lakota and AH-64A Apache helicopters. Along with other requisite training, you'll attend the Warrant Officer Flight Training (WOFT) program to attain your piloting skills.

There are a couple of ways to become an aviator, depending on your military or civilian status. Both require that you qualify and complete Warrant Officer Candidate School (WOCS) and Warrant Officer Flight Training (WOFT) through the U.S. Army. You need to be at least 18 years old, and not have reached your 33rd birthday by the time of selection.
