I had the option of going to another Fsdo since a friend went there after busting at my local Fsdo a couple times . So I decided to go to my Fsdo and my luck it was observed and they bust me twice . Can't Blaim anyone but myself . I went to the other Fsdo and passed with flying colors . To this day 3 years later I regret every day not going to that Fsdo in the first place . Now I am in fear that I lost my career before it even started . Every single day and night I think about it and regret my decision regarding my CFI ride to the point I barley sleep and lost friends and my girlfriend because they all say I turned into a different person ever since . I feel like I'm a criminal and lost all hope even tho I have passed two rides since .
Soooo...your prior failures were because you went to the wrong FSDO, rather than because you didn't meet the practical standards?
When you say you can't blame anyone else, you're not really taking blame for anything other than choosing the wrong FSDO; you're still putting the blame on the FSDO.
Before you worry about where you can go with your two training failures, you'll need to address your own ownership of this situation. That's a key issue for a pilot in command.
You don't regret not studying more. You don't regret any other aspect of the problem, except not choosing a different FSDO. That's telling. Change that aspect; learn from your past. The lesson isn't choosing the right FSDO. Learn that first, then look down the road. The view will be much brighter.
