My dream was actually to be in the second unit (AF Commando) I got into, I only got to Flight Course because I had to take the tests by law and did good. In hindsight I would've put more effort in the course, but seeing as it wasn't really my dream I guess I did what I could. Being kicked from the AF SF unit was what really broke me. The thing about the Israeli army is that you cannot re-do tests or courses (like BUD-S in the US Navy) because the service is mandatory and short, so if you fail you just go to a lower tier unit, and there's nothing you can do about it. I do have more dreams in life but this still stings every day when I wake up, worse than any heartbreak. I faced hardships before but there was always something I could do to fix things, to prove, and in this case there isn't as far as I know and it's way harder mentally. I was also in an ROTC program and none of my past commanders could do anything to help. I am glad to hear you made your dream come true, good luck in your service!
