I GOT REJECTED BY THE NAVY
March 2020โฆI get off the phone with my recruiter after Learning there is a chance I can fly for the navy
As soon as I found out my dream of being a naval aviator was possible I began all the necessary things
Got a tutor for my written examโฆcheck
Took my written exam and passedโฆcheck
Finished my degree with over a 3.0โฆcheck
Letters of recommendationโฆcheck
Written statementโฆcheck
Began taking flight lessonsโฆcheck
Got Corrective eye surgeryโฆcheck
Medically qualifiedโฆcheck
I was all in like never before
I wanted to be a naval pilot, this was my focus for the last year of my life
August 2021 roles around board results come out !
Iโm so excited looking for my ship date, Iโm just so happy I get to live this new experience become an officer in the navy
Then boomโฆ
All those thoughts stopped once I saw my name under
โNot professionally recommendedโ
I soon realized that this dream of mine wasnโt going to become a reality right now
After over a year of work, eye surgery, money on flight lessonsโฆno resultโฆโfuck manโ
I had a choice, I have a choice to sit around and WEEP about how I think Iโm a great candidate and how Iโm qualified, how I deserve this and that
But what the fuck is that gonna do? NOTHING
As soon as I saw that I didnโt get inโฆI said alright time to see where I went wrong
And go harder than I ever have in my fucking life
Itโs moments like this where I donโt blame anyone because the reality is they are taking the best people for that position..
Who am I to question their process, there were probably some absolutely outstanding candidates for that class and whether I apply again or not, nothing will change that factor
But itโs time now to focus on getting my Private Pilots license, study harder, focus on growing my business.
I DIDNโT FAIL, Iโm growing and getting better from this
One day I would love to fly for the military but that one day might not be for a whileโฆ
But if I just give up that one day is never going to come.
So STOP GIVING UP SO EASY AND FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU WANT IN THIS WORLD. With your fitness, relationships, wealth DONโT GIVE UP CAUSE I REFUSE.
