Today, to add to the pointlessness of my existence, not only have I been rejected from the Army, the Air Force, and the Navy, I received a rejection notice from the Army Reserves. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a letter from the Navy saying that they accepted my application to join the Navy. I never applied. FML
Today, I got 3 different rejection letters mailed to me from the same college. FML
Today, I realised the recruiter for the Navy lied to me. This shit ain't fun. FML
Today, I received a rejection letter from a job I desperately wanted. Yesterday, the job offer I'd been stalling on in while waiting for news about this one expired. FML
Today, I found out I didn't get accepted into a program I was nominated to attend at work that all other applicants with less experience than myself did. I found out when they asked if I had gotten the acceptance email. They didn't even bother telling me I was rejected. FML
Today, I was excited because I was going to get my college decisions back. I put all of the letters in order of my preference. Didn't get into my first choice. Denied from my second choice. Rejected from my third choice. Wait listed on my back-up. Accepted for a job at Target. FML
Today, I got an email from a Scholarship Program reminding me that they had rejected me 3 months ago. Thanks for reminding me I might not make it to college. FML
Today, after seven months of job-searching, I got another rejection. This is after a breakup, a job loss, the deaths of my grandfather and best friend, tax issues, 3 years of dealing with a severe phobia, family issues, and a pandemic. Plus, now I can't buy the flat I fell in love with. Someone up there hates me. FML
Today, I found out I did so horrible during my interview that I didn’t even get a rejection email. FML
Today, I received a series of rejection letters from jobs, one after the other. Last night, I stayed up into the wee morning hours to apply to campus jobs I'm not qualified for, because I was classified as a part-time student due to an administrative error. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I admire the apparent patriotism, but not all of our dreams are possible. Sometimes they require either a specific type of preparation or a specific level of physical and mental health. There have to be other career choices open to you. If you are still in school talk to your guidance counselor for ideas or guidance. Ideally when we are still young we may identify what type of career or work or interests resonates with our talents and interests and then work towards preparing for that career. If you don’t do that then it may be difficult to follow your dreams. I don’t know if you are desperate for a job and the military seemed your last apparent option or if there was something about serving in the military that just appealed to you. If it’s the first thing (desperate for a job) then look harder for things that you are qualified for - Now is a pretty good time to be looking for a job. If it’s that something about being and serving in the military that specifically appeals to you there are other jobs and careers that offer the ability to be useful and gain the camaraderie of your peers. It depends on what your talents and condition is and why you were turned down for military service. It will take some preparation to be a EMT or nurse, as an example, but if you make a realistic plan you can get there.

On your application, did you say your main reason for joining was "to kill a bunch of motherfuckers?" That's what they want you to THINK, but you should be smart enough not to SAY it out loud.

I am reminded of several verses from Arlo Gunther’s “Alice’s Restaurant Massacre” where the singer was rejected from being drafted into the military because of a previous conviction for littering…

We never wanted killers only soldiers. Most people can not be trained to kill and most of the military does not train a person to kill anyway that is not effective training. Its easier to teach a person to react, yet shockingly hard to teach a person to kill, So no the military wants people that can follow directions not killers. So somewhere while talking to a recruiter they failed to follow directions, or the person had a medical disability.

How bad was your ASVAB score? If you have medical issues you can try to get it waivered. GL OP
