<p>I have not been able to find my source. Just spent quite a while looking for it. Oh well.</p>

<p>Anyhow, this is what is sometimes called “inside baseball.” As I suggested to OP, it is ultimately irrelevant. He has to get a nomination through the normal process.</p>

<p>Yep, I have heard of those discretionary nominations from the Superintendents. Also, at least at USNA, nominations can be gotten through Naval ROTC and Junior NROTC. Every college NROTC unit can nominate three candidates. However, only about a 20 vacancies, nationwide, are filled this way. Lots of competition there.</p>

<p>If you have not seen this document, you will find it interesting.
