The VP Nomination deadline was Oct. 31st (post mark to show no later than this date). Sorry ...
If you are from GA (according to your name), then don't give up hope on a senator interview, as Senator Chambliss' interview letters are still on their way. My son contacted them with a question and when they replied they said the letters re. interviews should be received this Fri, Sat, Mon. time period. He did receive a letter re. Senator Isakson's interview earlier this week. As far as we understand, both senators have their interviews next weekend.

georgiaswimmom: If he put forth a good faith effort, applying to Senators and Representatives and still comes up short in the nomination department, the Academy can still find a nom for him..........it will all work out!

Thank you for everyone's advice and encouragement! My son had his interview with our representative's board yesterday and he felt that it went very well. They were aware of his LOA and that he was a recruited athlete before his interview, because he said they congratulated him on receiving the LOA and asked him questions about his swimming for Navy. We are aware that the Academy can help him get a nomination, but he would really like to do it on his own merit and from our own state. But if that doesn't work out, he certainly would not turn down help with a nomination from another source!

georgiaswimmom,
Sounds like the interview went very well. Congrats to your son. Best of luck in the future.

It will workout especially if he is a top 50 ranked HS swimmer. He will have the swim coach (Roberts) working on his behalf and he gets results. Enjoy the Team,they are a great bunch and it go's by fast. They have improved a great deal since my boy was a plebe there in 2005.
