<p>Your MOCs likely know about your LOA (ours did). You will want to send a copy of it to them with your file. MOCs want to nominate candidates who have a good chance of getting into the academy (i.e. you). They like to say things like, “Everyone on my slate received an appointment.” Basically, if USMA finds you a strong enough candidate to offer an LOA, your MOC will see you as a strong candidate as well. Of course, this depends on many factors, including how many applicants there are from your area. Best of luck to you! (Get your applications done early!!)</p>
