Aaron Erb Reflects on Leaving ‘Bachelorette’ to Pursue Air Force Pilot Training as He Completes the Program
Looking back...
Bachelor Nation got to know Noah Erb’s brother Aaron Erb on Season 21 of “The Bachelorette.”
As fans remember, Aaron quit in Week 3 because he received a call to return to the Air Force.
Since his time on the show, he has been keeping fans updated with his life on social media and left to begin his Air Force pilot training at the end of last year.
Now, Aaron has completed his training program and is reflecting on the decision he made to leave “The Bachelorette” in a new post online.
Alongside the clip of him receiving the call while on the show, Aaron posted photos of himself with his friends and family at a graduation dinner.
He wrote, “How It Started 🌹 vs. How It’s Going 🇺🇸✈️Introducing the Air Force’s newest pilots. Hindsight being 20/20 — I think I made the right call.”
Aaron continued, reflecting on his time in the training program and what it means to him now that it’s completed.
He said, “A year of locking in, 4:30 am wake-ups, lots of G’s, and a few missed radio calls later—we earned these wings… but really the journey has just begun.”
Aaron ended his post with a note of gratitude for those who have helped him get to this point.
He expressed, “Thank you to my classmates, instructors, family, and everyone who had my back along the way. 💙”
Followers and loved ones filled the comments with words of congratulations, including his fellow Bachelor Nation stars.
Demar Jackson said, “Congrats Brother Erb! The Hard work paid off 👏🏾👏🏾”
Sam McKinney chimed in, “Let’s go!!!!!! Proud of you dawg 🤘🏽” and Dylan Buckor added, “Top gun 3??”
