Noms are coming in. What's the next step?

Notification from your MOC varies with each office…some call, some send congratulatory letters, some even have reception luncheons/dinners! Our son’s BGO called as well to “update” his status about a week after (allowing time for the MOC to contact him first)…

as for the next step: that is the appointment, and in the end it’s the only thing that counts. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on your perspective, the USNA takes it’s time in getting out the appointment letters…LOAs have generally all gone out by now, so it is up to the weekly admission meetings and what filters out from those… many will not hear until the March deadline… and some will hear right up until I-Day…and the class of 2009 even had a few who heard in the days even following that!

Patience is a virtue…

As for the flag over the US Capitol, it is a lovely rememberance…we had one flown on the day our daughter graduated from her university, and another 2 flown on the day our son took his oath of office for USNA…one for him, and one for us! As for our son’s flags, while I hope to never, ever, use the former, we proudly use the latter one on the front of our porch! (they arrived shortly afterwards, with a lovely letter)…
