Are my cons enough to stop me from getting accepted
I’ve wanted to be a military aviator my entire life, I’m currently a junior in college about to graduate a year early, with two degrees, one in aviation through the FAAs part 141 program and the other in computer engineering
I took two years of non contracted army rotc classes as that’s all they have in Arkansas unless you go to U of A
I got a 98 on the ASVAB, a 75 on the OAR and a 9 on the ASTB
I got a letter of recommendation from the dean of aviation who is a retired marine aviator along with an army colonel, my pastor and my former divisional officer from when I was enlisted in the navy
I like to think I have a pretty competitive package, on the other hand I basically ran away from home my senior year of high school to join the navy, I had a lot of stuff going on at home to put it lightly and I thought joining the military would fix all my problems
Unfortunately I wound up failing out of submarine school, and got sent undesignated to the surface fleet, before getting separated after 2 years and nine months in, over a “condition not a disability” luckily I got an honorable discharge, but I still received an RE-3G re enlistment code
A few months after being discharged, I spent a night in jail over contempt of court, it was just a misdemeanor but I still have an arrest record.
Now it’s been 4 years later, I’m 25 now, I’m engaged
