I liked that, everything backfired on him, especially his big mouth attitude towards those who were not able to keep going.Even IF he´d fail the recon entry test ... so what? You swore to kill all titans, you swore it to your dead mother. So just leave these soldiers and train by yourself. Become a lone fighter. Here it seemed as if he had given up all his plans, had he not let become part of the trainee camp. Silly.
and its not like he could've done anything if they decided not to make him a soldier.
if you wan't to join the army, you either get in, or not - thats it.. nothing in between
he isn't (completely) nuts, even he knows that he can't fight them alone

the thing that cracked me up was when the girl offered him "half", which clearly wasn't even 1/4 of it.
even the sergeant couldn't believe it - guess thats the true reason why he sent her running
