In July 2022 a post was made expressing my gross disappointment with not clearing security for faa hiring. It was met with hostility and ridicule led by one douche in particular. This was the post:

I was down, but not out. I then returned describing my plans to go the military route and that post can be found here:

most of the comment section was filled with negative remarks, but I did not let that affect my resolve. To the contrary, knowing what I know now about the career field and even military culture, those comments are quite comical.
I shipped out to basic military training a little later than expected because something came up, but I eventually arrived in San Antonio, TX. The only way I can describe bmt is as an incredible experience which I never want to relive. After that I arrived in Biloxi, MS for technical training. While the course was challenging and I did wash back once in radar basic, I found training to be reasonably easy. To be honest I blame it on a chick I was messing around with that distracted me. I graduated tech school almost two weeks ago and currently work in the control tower at my duty station. Apparently it takes up to a year to get the cto even though someone here has managed to do it in six months which is the record.
Looking back, it is not so bad that I did not make the trip to OKC. I am going to buy a new guitar amp soon, thinking of learning Italian, and going to work on a second bachelors'.
With that said, remember to pace as you guzzle that haterade and I look forward to giving an update when I get rated
