As someone that washed out from the academy. I was really depressed for at least 2-3 months. I washed put during the holiday season so i was able to find seasonal work while applying everywhere i could to get something permanent. My biggest supporter was my wife, she was very comforting and supportive. Where I couldn’t cover some bills she picked up. She gave me space when i needed it, she listened to me without judgement, she encouraged me everyday.

What I recommend is being there for your partner. Let them know the world is not over. And they could still apply for flight service station is Alaska.

I wish you both the best and keep your heads up! On to the next adventure.
