That's rather unfortunate. That being said, if it were me, I'd still submit my package to every single board that I could let them deny me every single time that they felt necessary. At least I would've tried and gotten my denial in writing rather than allow rumor and pessimism to make me give up.
Yes I know that "the odds are not in my favor". I speak like I'm going to get in because I truly believe I can do anything. Yes, the DUI was a choice and a mistake... I'm dealing with the consequences each day. I'm still going to push and work as hard as possible to get back in the Navy. I'll stop when there is no damn chance in hell anyone will give me the time of day.
I just received the ASTB-E study guide in the mail. I'm beginning the studying tonight and will not give up until it's test time. I'll check here at forums for more study material and practice tests.
My recruiter mentioned that I could/should try going for Supply officer or a different type of officer because the time-constraints are what would hurt the most (that is if they waived a DUI in my case) being that I'm 28 in a few days. The ultimate dream is to be a pilot, Navy pilot is a huge plus! If I got accepted I'd take the Supply officer as my second choice.
So I get in (Pilot or Supply) RETIRE at 4oish. I'd train and get my commercial pilot license like i'm doing now throughout my navy career and when I retire I can land a civilian job as a corporate pilot. Where there's a will there's a way. Things will work out for me exactly how they are planned.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU all for all the awesome feedback. Much appreciated.
