i did the same thing for Navy I wanted to fly they couldnt gaurentee it because I was not a minority.. so i didnt. Then i went to Marines and was turned down because i didnt have 2 years of college. So then i proceeded to try Coast Gaurd they couldnt gaurentee that i wouldnt be a recruiter in Kansas or somewhere like that and i gave up on all. 2 ywars later was 1st gulf war then hear complaining there was too many minorities enlisted. I tried but God had better plans for me.
