Im one of those unlucky persons who are young, in shape, have excellent hygiene, but smell bad.
Before you ask, no this isnt a joke. And yes I have seen several doctors and many doctors have ran multiple tests on me and everything has come back completely normal.
Yes I shower, brush/floss my teeth, wear deoderant, and have no cavities.
No I cant smell myself but based off of the comments I get I can conclude that ...
The odor makes people's eyes water; it makes their airways burn, nauseates them, makes them cough and sneeze, and the odor spreads like a constant gas and has a 15-50ft radius.
My roommate has described it to me as rechid and putrid.
Despite this condition, I have aspirations to be a pilot as you can tell by my handle. Im already 35 so my dream of being a fighter pilot might not work out but im willing to settle for RPA.
***So how bad of a time can I expect to have if I persue my dream?***
***How miserable will military life be with this odor?***
I asked an ex-army vet what they thought would happen if I joined and he told me that I would likely get a "Failure to Adapt" and likely get rejected from the OTS boards. He also said people would likely make my life hell.
The other reason I want to be a pilot is because they dont work with many people at a time. . . As far s I know RPAs work with a sensor op. So having only 1 coworker would be ideal so I dont bother too many people with this smell.
