Got the Call! (DEA)

Thank you to everyone on this sub! Many people have been a tremendous help to me here, from answering questions to providing perspective.

For background, I am not a veteran nor do I have prior LE experience.

The process has been long and difficult. I have had tough failures and was held up for months medically due to my Keratoconus. Yet, here we are!

For anyone still going through the process or looking to start: Be honest, work hard, and keep your head up if the going gets rough.

Your time will come, make it happen.
