A little background on myself: I attended the Naval Academy Preperatory School in Newport Rhode Island after high school. After finishing there I was off to the Naval Academy. About mid-way through my second semester of plebe year I made probably one of the biggest mistakes in my life and left the Naval Academy. At the time I felt like I was pushed to go to the Academy from my father who was an O-6 in the admissions department there at USNA. Alot has changed since I have left. I have been paying my way through college and I have come to turms with my own immaturity that led me to leave USNA. I know that being in officer in the navy is something that I have always wanted and I buckled in a moment of weakness. I still want to be an officer in the navy and specifically to fly, but a commision is my main goal. I have done some research and I was told that I have too many credit hours to join a NROTC unit at this point. I would like to do AOCS after I finish school, but I want to know if the selection boards are going to believe that I had my chance and I blew it. I could get good recomendations from some officers that were in my chain of command, and I am approaching them some of them now to ask for the opportunity to talk to midshipman that are thinking about leaving to give them my experiences and hopefully give them a perspective that is closer to their own. There are some things that you can not really see and understand until you take a step back from the situation. I have good grades, work 40-50 hours a week while going to school full time, and I have some flight time. I'm just trying to gage whether the door will be slammed in my face when I put in my package.
