Is my scheduled ALC still required for WOC School?

I didn’t go to ALC before WOCS, and I regret it and advise all of my potential candidates to attend ALC before putting in a packet. That being said, I agree with Mr. Enright’s and MSG Gould’s comments. You should go to ALC to make yourself an even better WO and provide better counseling for your future E5’s and E6’s and potential WO Candidates, but you don’t want to block someone else’s chance of their career progression. Tough call, but it sounds like it’s yours to make.

In my honest opinion, it would be a waste, not only to you but to someone else who could potentially take your spot since you are going to WOCS.

Another factor could also be how many years you’ve had as an E-5. If you’ve been at the pay grade for a while you’ve might have already learned a lot of the lesson ALC would’ve taught you. If you don’t have much time in grade then it might be beneficial.
