What is the National Guard Warrant Officer Enlistment Option ?
The Warrant Officer Candidate School Enlistment Option is used to allow Prior Service Non commissioned officers, with the minimum DA WO MOS Proponency requirements, to become a warrant officer in the ARNG. This option offers the opportunity for separating active duty Non-commissioned Officers to apply for entrance into the ARNG Warrant Officer Education System (WOES). Enlisted status within the ARNG is required for WOES application submission. Applicants will have one year from the date of enlistment to be appointed as a Warrant Officer Candidate. Every effort should be made on the part of the Soldier’s chain of command to help facilitate the Warrant Officer accession process. This enlistment option does not apply to Aviation Flight Applicants.
