IDF Says "No" to Pilot School, But "Yes" to the Paratroopers
In an earlier post I linked to an article in Ynetnews.com about an Arab who wanted to join the pilots training course.
Today there is a report that the IDF has rejected this request, but has asked him to join the paratroopers.
According to the article, the IDF did not specify a reason for this rejection. The young man expressed his disappointment, and he will apply again when the opportunity arises, but for now he will join the paratroopers.
I think his decision shows maturity. He is accepting the situation as it is now, he is proving that he wants to serve, even if it isn't in his first choice of unit, and he will not give up on his dream but will try again later.

Thanks. This post made me feel good at least for a minute or two. With so much negativity, it's nice to hear that there are people working out difficult situations in reasonable ways.
This 'build trust while defering but not canceling dreams' phase is the kicker to those who are either to impatient to defer, or whose dreams involve destroying the one whose trust is sought.
Great post.
To be fair, though, there was talk also of taking the case to court to force the issue. I hope that this doesn't succeed and they give this kid a decent chance to prove himself.
