Well fancy that - Capt Ed Acosta - I knew 1stLt Acosta when he was the PersO at HQs, Marine Barracks Hawaii (Col Koethe & Col Dube). I was a LCpl, Cpl, and Sgt at Guard Company West Loch, MarBksHi - then 1stLt Acosta helped me with my ECP package. The best Marine LDO I ever met in the Marine Corps - very kind, polished, competent, and a mentor to all. You are very fortunate to have had Ed Acosta mentor you!
