Main Nomination vs Competing Nomination

<p>An appointment will not be offered until your son is cleared medically.
A principle nomination, even for those triple q’d, is still not a guarantee. The MOC does not have access to the entire record.
Until the appointment is received, there is no appointment to be held, and no spot to be given away- he has not, as of yet, been given a “spot.”</p>

<p>The good news is that aside from LOAs, which have already gone out, appointments will wait until all MOC nominations are in [January 30th] and applications are closed [march].</p>

<p>It is a long waiting game.
First and foremost, get him healed and healthy.
When he is healthy, get his status on DoDMERB updated
Follow up- promptly- with any additional information needed by DoDMERB
Keep his BGO updated- regularly.
Instruct your son to do what he has to do to stay “healthy” going forward.
Injuries, for those WITH appointments, have caused more than one appointee to head home right up to I-Day… not a good thing.
Bubble wrap- head to toe- highly recommended.
If you figure out a way to do that, let me know.</p>
