NEED TO VENT 😭
I was an NDA aspirant with attempts still left. I was recommended in NDA 156 SSB, but during the medicals, I was declared medically unfit on the first day.
As a kid, I had a major accident that caused a complete fracture of both bones in my right forearm near the joint. Because of that, I still have some restrictions in hand movement. Doctors say physiotherapy can improve it, but I don't know if it'll ever be 100% normal cause it will be the 2nd time after recovery. I also have multiple surgery scars and stitch marks, which the medical board is understandably cautious about.
Joining the Army or Air Force has been my dream since childhood. I even cleared Sainik School in Class 5, but the accident happened just a few days after the results and changed everything. I still wonder how different life would've been if it never happened Gand Marao..
Academically, I was good like a really good competed in ioqm and rmo, even was a state topper in regional silverzone maths olympiad and GK and many awards in sports like volleyball and basketball (Abbey jaa na) But recent years have been very tough for me and my family "not financially" but like we lost loved ones and many series of events like various health issues of family members, and other things in just 2-3 years. But still I scored decently in JEE Main and Advanced, so I opted for a mid-branch at NIT through the state quota. But I still can't let go of this dream (Aww)
If u were in my place, would u move on, join an NIT, and build a career there? Or would u still prepare for CDS in NIT and give the dream one more shot? My parents and my whole relatives r also completely against me joining the defence and even engineering as I am the only male kid of my whole family, and they r super protective and want me to be a "Bureaucrat" (unki baat waise bhi nhi sunta)
Anyways my height is 184 cm, weight 83-85 kg, and I have myopic eyes -1.75D in both eyes.
