or available billets.

4. Attendee costs for this OPNAV-authorized, mission essential training event

Has anybody here been selected for this, or seen a successful candidacy? Getting to spend time on Old Ironsides in a professional capacity would be a life's dream come true.

[Master_Spook]

My command has sent a few Selectees and Mentors over the past years.  They all had nothing but great things to say about their time on board.
