Hi There
I have quite the situation... I'll try to make it as short as possible. I've always wanted to be AVN... Always. It's my dream.
I was in the navy (STWD) once for 9 months fresh out of highschool, got out Voluntary Release. I tried to up my grades in high school at a local adult high school in order to get another kick at the aptitudes test (only qualified for cook and steward). It wasn't sufficient enough to get another chance. I decided to genuinely give STWD a chance. Did my QL3 and a short tour on the Iroquois to Boston. Wasn't for me... I voluntarily released again but this time I decided to go to college and do something I love and dream about. I'm currently in my second year Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Program and I'm interested in potentially applying again. Some may say my odds are slim but I'm am determined to do everything in my power to at least TRY. So I've been told from my local RC that an education waiver MAY be in my favour at this point. Has anyone gone through this? I know that an education waiver has been something that people here have spoke about but I havent been able to find one regarding the Apt test. I'm doing VERY well in school and I'm looking forward to graduating but I hope that this isn't the end of the road for my military career. The aptitudes test is what gets me every time! Am I crazy for thinking that an education waiver might work out for me? Is it crazy for me to think that I may still have a shot?
One Goal. I've been chasing for 3 years... I can do this.
