Brother, do you have access to the e-course?

I’m going to give you some raw advice as a military member. Trash this letter. I understand you’re attempting to show honesty and tenacity through your grit of not giving up. However, you’re wrecking yourself.

-Don’t mention how many times you’ve tried and failed. An hiring official will see that as a red flag. They don’t want to hire you then something go wrong.

-The part where you’re talking about alcohol, it makes you seem like a risk/liability to the squadron (though we all make mistakes).

-At one point you mention not being a genius.. nobody expects you to be. Simply only highlight your strengths.

-I am a mother and though parenthood is such a blessing, I’d be reluctant to even mention kids. The military is supportive of family; however you’re going to raise questions on how you’ll manage UPT with kids.

Stick to the basics and highlight HOW you can be an asset. You fly, you are fun to be around, you improve, etc.
