<p>Who is “they”? 
</p>
<p>If “they” is the USMMA, then you’re confused - they don’t give out nominations, they give out appointments.</p>
<p>If “they” is the Congress, then petition them to change the law about how nominations are handled (Code of Federal Regulations, Title 10) for appointments to the USMMA. </p>
<p>It’s a FEDERAL law, not a USMMA policy.</p>
