<p>Don’t quote me; But, I re-read a lot posts from a year ago on this forum from a lot of the NOW 2011 cadets. There were a few that mentioned that they got their LOA (Letter of ASSURANCE) and they only needed to get their nomination. So, as long as everything else is done, that should be all that will be required.</p>
<p>Had you NOT received your ALO evaluation yet, I’m not sure if they would process as far as an LOA. Maybe yes, I can’t remember seeing anyone from last year that got an LOA without having that done first. Possible I guess.</p>
<p>Usually; “Get use to that term. You will hear it a lot on Active Duty. All things are subject to change”; the LOA is given out when the ONLY thing stopping you from getting an Appointment is a nomination. There are some nominations that are done outside of the Senators and Repr, so those individuals could get a direct appointment instead of an LOA.</p>
<p>I can’t remember however if you can get an LOA if things like the medical or ALO eval hasn’t been done yet. Maybe one of the cadets on board here did do that and can jump in. Later… Mike…</p>
