 If you're interested in becoming a Warrant Officer, you have to go through a preliminary event which is the pre-warrant officer course here in secret. So before I became a Warrant Officer, I never had the opportunity of attending a pre-walk. Pre-walk is a very efficient tool for me to be able to gauge myself to see what I'm lacking on. It's a good eye-opener for those who are able to attend and they see where they're at. At the very beginning when the first coming to the class and doing the orientation, we do a developmental counseling, which is we state all the dos and don'ts and the expectations of them while you're here. They have to be able to meet APFT, height and weight, they have to conduct a four-mile foot march, they have to complete it, they have to do a military briefing, and they actually have to go through land navigation. I wish you would have had this. I didn't have this in the reserves, but coming to the guard I became a Warrant Officer and then going to PA and being able to see the pre-walk. I wanted to bring this to New Jersey, I wanted to make it happen and we have being able to help another soldier out and see their full potential and being able to mentor and lead them to become something bigger and better than what they are, it's priceless. My name is Chief Warrant Officer 3, Jose Carlos Amiris. I am a TAC officer at the ITI and I teach the pre-warrant officer candidate course.
