I only skimmed, but I have to say in my mind lots of red flags went up.
Um...great, but here are my red flags.
Are you applying for Purdue?
Are you competitive for admissions?
How many wanted rated...if 1 didn't get it, and 3 applied, you have a 66% shot...let's not even go into the fact that UPT does not wing 100%. Not by a long shot
How many dis-enrolled?
Nobody can predict 6 yrs from now regarding manpower needs.
You need to ask yourself would you be happy being a maintenance officer in the Navy. I get it, you have a dream, our DS did too, but we drilled in his head, he will serve at the luxury of the AF.
I am not applying to Purdue, I just used it as an example. If I was assigned to Maintenence, I would deal with it it. I understand I might not get a pilot slot, and if I don't I will serve the country in a different way.
This is another red flag. You had a B, but failed the final. To me as a teacher it means the foundation was not built. You failed because academically somewhere it didn't click/absorb.
I agree. But I have struggled with math since I was young. To me it has just always been the hardest subject.
Not following, unless you are hoping this teacher will take you to a D.
Clarification needed
Yes. Even though the teacher does not seem friendly, and I barely believed it at first, it gives me a little hope.
now the next post said
What is it...miss practices and kicked off or not. Can't miss practices, but you miss 2X a week.
I will miss 1x a week and come an hour late 1x a week. The coaches are okay with that.
Is Lithuanian school due to heritage, or is it like aviation club...a choice.
My parents make me attend, because they want me not to forgot how to speak, read and write Lithuanian. It is the same as Polish/Russian/Ukranian school.
Do you see your posts are contradictory?
I am sorry, but you say one thing in a post, and another in the next.
Heartless teacher, but has been known to raise grades up.
Maybe she has a soft side? Or so I've heard.
I am not trying to be harsh, I am trying to illustrate when it comes down to your interviews, be it MOCs or CoCs, they may ask why 2+2 in your defense is not equaling 4.
It is something you need to think about.
Also, the idea of saying I always wanted to be a Navy pilot! The Navy wants officers, not just pilots. You know what they call an O1 or even an O10 pilot? It is not Pilot Smith, it is Ensign or Admiral Smith.
Officer first, pilot second. I'm aware of that, but the only way to achieve my dream is through the military. For me, getting to defend the country and live my dream is as good as it can get.
Final red flag
Sorry, but I think you need to hear harsh truths now. As an F15E WSO wife of 20 yrs AD, and as an AFROTC 2012 grad Mom at UPT now. If you find it hard in HS to give 110% when you feel you already lost the battle, I am not sure the military is a good fit for you.
It is rarer than rare that anyone will crow for you or pat you on the back. In the AF flying world they are known to eat their young. I assume the same is true for Navy.
The it's hard to give 110% when you feel like you've already lost the battle comment scares the beegeegees out of me. You are going to defend this country.
I get it you are 15/16, but if you really want to be competitive IMPHO, accept responsibility now for your actions.
If you want us to sugar coat or coddle, we can do that too. It is up to you now to direct us on what you want.
Again, I know this post comes off harsh, and I apologize for that, but IMPO if we aren't honest with you now, we do greater harm later on.
I think you have a great shot commissioning, keep moving forward.
