UPDATE:
I am screwed once again! After being told that I was going to ACES and they were about to setup my travel arrangements, I got a call from a Lieutenant in Miami who said that I was going over her head, and she said I was NOT going because "the class was full". Can you believe this? I have been given the run-around OVER, and OVER, and OVER again. I am not sure what to think now. Is there a lack of communication in the Navy? That sure seems to be the problem to me!
Sincerely,
Paul
Dear Forum,
First of all, I want to thank you all for your advice and all of the valuable information that you have given me about ACES. Although I am going to OCS 16JUN, I still felt I deserved the opportunity to attend ACES. My recruiter made a good attempt to get me in, but he couldn't secure me a spot. Fortunately I met a great man on the internet who is a Captain out of Corpus Christi. He gave me alot of advice and was very insistent on my attending ACES. So, after he heard that my recruiter couldn't secure me a spot, he pulled some strings and made it happen! However, it took MANY emails and phone calls for this to happen. However, today, two days before I have to leave for ACES, I got the call and leave Sunday!
Anyway, this was a GREAT lesson for me in that it taught me how you MUST be persistent if you want to make things happen, ESPECIALLY in the military.
Sincerely,
Paul
