Re post 101 - nearly right. I dont begrudge the firm for not letting me in as an interface unit - bliind jockey = smoking hole in side of hill. Thems the breaks and ce la vie.
My point was there are many more like me out here, you make it through selection, get into the jet, find there is a big flaw in your make up and get chopped. Don't bitch about it - be proud of it. you got a lot further than many (and you got some stick time).
There ain't no shame in saying - yep I hit an ability wall - better that than hitting a school wall.
I can't understand why someone would need to cover that up...
