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

Son Mike just spotted that his USNA website application page is showing he got a Nom from his congressman (as well as a duplicate nom to his back-up spot, USAFA). YAY! I assume we’ll get a letter from the congressman in the mail soon to back this up?

And what’s the timing on the next / last round, i.e. the Appointment decision? Do the academies usually make quick decision(s) on the appointment(s) once noms are in, or, as I have seen here on the forum before, can this drag out over months, i.e. right up to I-Day? And what’s the norm? As with all of the potential candidates here on the forum, we hate the waiting game, but hey, I guess we should get used to it…

BTW - AFA waived my son’s DODMERB “knee” DQ but we’re still waiting to hear anything from USNA on that matter. But we’ve got the other Q’s and the Nom lined up, so he’s another step closer to his dream of flying for the Navy.
