<p>Thanks, Great American. For the 20 JROTC appointments, how big is the “pool” of nominations from which they are chosen?</p>
<p>I have read about 200 each year but I suppose it can vary and I have not read anywhere that there is a limit on the number of nominees. </p>
<p>Per Great American, I think the ROTC nomination is a ‘bonus’ and you need to pursue MOC nominations otherwise you probably don’t appear like you are trying as hard as you could be!</p>
<p>There is a limit on nominees, I believe. The Dir of Admission said each unit can nom one, and if they’re an honor unit, they get another one. So if I’m remembering correctly, there is a limit but I’ve no clue what it would be. At any rate, the odds don’t seem particularly great from this pool, i.e. it’s no great shakes.</p>
<p>But as GA noted, once one gets the nom, it’s really up to the individual’s candidacy. I spose one might conclude this is not a particularly strong pool of candidates but there are particularly strong individuals in its midst.</p>
<p>I got a phonecall this afternoon…</p>
<p>I got a Senatorial Nomination!!</p>
<p>Todd.</p>
<p>Way to go, dude! BZ! :)</p>
<p>Today I got a letter from my MOC saying I had been nominated for both the Naval and Air Force Academies. 
Of course, Naval is still my first choice, but the other option is very nice.</p>
<p>Got a letter yesterday. . .</p>
<p>I got my MOC nomination!</p>
