I will not give up hope. It takes only the faith of a mustard seed and a dream.
legally, we take risks every day. My S.O. repairs cars for people at home, which is a risk. I repair bikes for people in my garage, sell repaired bikes to people. Any of these people could injure themselves and consider us liable. But we have to take some calculated risks. If I had not taken many risks, I would not have dug my way up from the bottom.
It seems like the exams are in may and june. But location is a problem. I will be moving about the country this summer on business, I will have plenty of time to study, not having the children with me, but catching up with the ACE testers is going to be tough.
I got my certs on base here, at the military rate and the classes were held on the weekend. And I know how you feel, my husband is an O-2 in the Navy...but O-3 is coming up soon (hurray for pay raise!)

Here is the link to AFAA's military calender, etc. I don't know where you are, but they've got personal training option...
