Ocean's dream of joining the military was shattered due to a medical condition

Ocean Subiona had always wanted to be a soldier and joined the JROTC program in high school to pursue his dream of becoming a helicopter pilot. However, when he tried to enlist, a military doctor noticed his congenital ptosis, a disorder that affects his eyelids, and deemed him medically disqualified. This devastating blow left Ocean feeling lost and unfulfilled. He eventually found fulfillment as a firefighter, but the desire to serve in the military never left him. Years later, he was given another chance and a different doctor allowed him to achieve his dream, becoming a combat medic with the National Guard.
