I was successful with NASA recon. I joined and apped but with a BK7 only 4 years old, they denied me before I hit "submit". I called to CSR and she gave me an email to send a recon.
I told them the truth regarding my BK7. 1) Lost $100K job, 2) Financial stress caused a divorce, 3) Divorce cause short-term stress-related medical issues, 4) Short term medical issues cause me to drink under Drs. direction 5) My dog ran away because I was short tempered due to drinking 6) My electric got shut off which caused the beer to get warm.
All of this is 100% true. I was approved within an hour or so of submitting. They want to know that BK was not a result of poor, irresponsible behavior. The only poor behavior was I did not get a cooler and ice to keep the beer cold. Shame on me!
Approved for $5K Shuttle CC, I love me some NASA.
Oh, how I remember you posting this once before and still a classic to this day. Thanks for the laugh and for sharing your success story with the NASA reconsideration - granted it's still YEMV but it can definitely help some folks!
