Is a 10 Minute Interview Normal?

Please read carefully US Code Title 10 as it applies to the Naval Academy. No where does it mention anything about LOAs, which are solely internal to the Academy. These individuals must compete for an appointment exactly like everyone else. Those who do not receive principal nominations or are not deemed the most competitive in a competitive slate, are relegated to the national pool.

<p>You are essentially saying that a Letter Of Assurance from USNA is worthless, meaningless, and that every holder of an LOA will be again be judged on the quality of their file.</p>

<p>That a GUARANTEED appointment (upon satisfaction of a contingiency, usually a nomination) is not a guarantee.</p>

<p>Answer this question - Is a LOA (which is nothing but a contingent appointment), upon satisfaction of the contingency (a nomination in this case) a guarantee of appointment or not?</p>

<p>If your answer is yes, then everything you wrote above is false.</p>

<p>If your answer is no, then a LOA is a worthless piece of paper, a misleading trick to falsely induce a candidate to committ to USNA with a false guarantee of appointment.</p>
