<p>My understanding is only for USNA but in our district and how we were told, the MOC have various choices in how they nominate. They can nominate up to 10 for each appointment slot and they typically put them in order of rank. But, they can send the 10 names and have USNA pick based on their criteria, or they can have a principal nominee where they decide (if triple Q’d) who gets the appointment, or they can just send in 10 names. So, I think from your post that your MOC does that for USMA. I would guess they do the same for the other SAs, but I don’t think it is out of line to ask them. Each MOC can have (I think) up to 5 people at a service academy at any time. So, their available slots sometimes are greater; sometimes less. Plus, if you have a LOA, typically they will “find” you a nomination source, sometimes borrowing from other state’s quotas. My DD asked where she was ranked by her MOC and was told 3rd so it wasn’t a secret etc. The first two got in and she didn’t (but then got NAPS) and then got the top nomination spot the following year. Remember that your congressmen are representing you in your district and asking questions only makes you seem more serious about the process. Good luck this year.</p>
