Heat of the moment

Today, I tore up my airborne academy admission documents because my lab results weren't good enough. A few hours later, they called me to apologize for the misunderstanding, mine turned out to be perfect and they'd accepted me. They need me tomorrow with all the documents to finalize the admission.

Tell them what happened. They were the idiots that made a mistake and it is their fault.

I can't because a few hours prior, my dictionary told me I wasn't good enough so I ripped all the pages up.

No biggie, just explain to them that you have a problem controlling your emotions so you tore up some important documents they sent you.

I told 'em the truth, and after they blamed me harshly, They gave me only 3 days to recollect the papers I tore down, which btw took me 8 days to compile. And when I mentioned that, they retorted; if u wanna be a flier, u'll do it!

everyone who thinks that ripping up the admission was over-dramatic is obviously not a pilot.

way to go... you should know that you don't tear up documents not matter what they're for. You never know when you might need them again.

Contests buddy on getting into Airborne school!!!

... looks like their selection process is still working... Instructor: "Where is your flight logbook?" OP: "Oh, you said some of the entries weren't perfect, so I tore it up."

... but the good news for OP is that re-filling in forms that were only recently compiled usually takes much less time than the first time through. And for the harder questions, you could tape those pages back together and copy from them.

Navigator: "Where the heck is the map???" OP: "Oh I didn't like all that turd-brown color, so I tore it up."

Mechanic: "Where are the WINGS?" OP: Oh, they refused to barrel-roll the way I wanted, so I tore them off!"

Instructor: "Why haven't you pulled your rip-chord???" OP: "I *told* the quartermaster I didn't want a rectangular parachute - so I tore it up!" Instructor: "mm-hmm - selection process is still working..."
