Despite the odds stacked up against me I am appealing my attrition from flight school. I am struggling with the balance of writing a personal yet professional memorandum.
If anyone has any sort of advice for this please let me know.
I will give whatever details you feel you need to help me with this.

noun
noun: attrition
1.
the action or process of gradually reducing the strength or effectiveness of someone or something through sustained attack or pressure.
Attrition is a noun describing the process that caused you to depart the unit.. It does not describe why and that is important to this discussion.
A training unit has attrition for a verity of reasons, not limited to.
Medical issues with trainees
Academic issues.
Legal issues.
And more....
If you are part of the attrition of training members becuase you have a GPA of 3.6 and the cut line is 3.62...thats a great reason to ask for an exception I suppose.
If you are part of the attrition of training members becuase you have failed a test 3 times and that is the limit, you likely do not have a good reason without showing cause for the failure and said cause is now gone (you had the flu, gout, an upper respiratory infection, temp hearing loss and a runny nose, all of which abated after 72 hours rest) and both retests were given back to back the same day you were ill.....
A legal issue : You were issued a bench warrant and arrested while in training... However the bench warrant stemmed from a vehicle you gifted to your sister the day you joined the military 4 years ago, you have bill of sale and signed title transfer documents as required by state law...only your sister never filed the paperwork as is required under state law, so when the vehicle was found abandoned , ticked, it was still in your name erroneously...That might warrant a letter asking for redress or exception.

I've had a number of friends attrite. I think one of them initially appealed and won (attrited in IFS, appealed, was allowed to continue) only to attrite in primary prior to his first solo. It would be more helpful if I knew what got you. There are some things worth appealing, and some things they won't take a second look at.
