<p>At least you get an interview. My senator/congressman back in the states have ignored me largely for the fact they hate representing overseas military. </p>
<p>I just want to say this plain and simple:</p>
<p>It is easier to get a nomination if you are from a civilian family, and much harder for military families to get one because over half of the senators and congressman WILL NOT give you one if they know you have a Presidential one. They are too stupid to know that only 100 individuals with Presidential Nominations can even get into the academy.</p>
