This is Molt Laka, a 19 year old Israeli who was previously rejected from joining an IDF combat unit due to his profile being too low. The reason it was low was due to him being over-weight, of course to join a combat unit one needs to be in physical shape beforehand.
Instead of taking the easy way out by giving up or whining on social media or contacting the media like people these days like to do, he decided to put himself through a pre-military preparatory school and they prepared him to the point that he was accepted recently into the IDF Tzanchanim (paratroopers) Brigade which is a serious combat unit.
This is why you never under-estimate yourself or take no for an answer if you want to do something, you find a way and that way isn't to whine and complain about it to the media, the way is to work your ass off to get to it.
Mazal tov brother!
