<p>Let’s clear up a little USNA vocabulary here…</p>
<p>Being LISTED on an MOC’s slate (10 per appointment slot available) IS NOT A NOMINATION. It simply is a list containing 10 names. The candidates on this list are referred to as “nominees.” USNA selects candidates from the slate or takes the principal nominee and matches them with an appointment…at this point, the candidates have earned that specific MOC’s nomination.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The reason multiple candidates receive appointments in the same district is simply from different NOMINATING SOURCES (whether MOC, VP, Pres., Supt, SECNAV, JROTC/ROTC, national pool, etc). USNA doesn’t have any specific quotas for MOC district/states (they have ballpark numbers for demographics).</p>
<p>From the statement above:
- USNA doesn’t control the “district allotment”…its a federal law
- MOC’s aren’t limited to appointments…they are limited in NOMINATIONS!
- USNA doesn’t have a set “yearly allotment” for a district…though, they may consider demographics</p>
<p>GreatAmerican, correct me if I am wrong on anything.</p>
