[quote=PugsThat being said, how is someone a helo pilot and flag officer and only accumulated 1500 hours? [/quote]
Typical commissioned aviator in the Army. They just dont fly. Warrants do most of the flying, spend their career at the flight line, not in a office.
Most commissioned types that make it to O-6 or higher will have Senior wings, but very rarely wear Master wings. They dont get to put in the time in an Operational Flight position to earn the required time and they damn sure dont get the required flight time. Most Warrants have the flight time, just wait on the years.
I think Senior Wings was 84 months and 1500 hours and Master Wings is 180 months and 2500 hours. Not 100% on the time for the Master Wings. I met both months and hours for mine, so not something I concerned myself with.
