Qualified w/nomination still waiting

And remember that if your MOC does use a principle nomination, WP may be waiting to hear from that nominee whether or not they are accepting the appointment, or if they are going to defect and go to Navy or Air Force ;), which then opens up the slot for the next one in line. Actually, I guess this is what would also occur with a competitive slate from the MOC, so it is no wonder the process is as tedious as it is from admissions board’s perspective.

Our son got his appt on Feb 6 (he also did not have an LOA), but we found out he was the principle nominee from his congressman, and he also had a nomination from a senator. We do not know which MOC slot his appointment is filling from WP as the admissions people figure all that out but don’t necessarily reveal it to the candidate. I believe his appt was revealed as early as it was only because of the MOC’s decision to use the principle method. He had congratulatory calls from both the congressman and the senator, so there is really no way to tell where he was on the senator’s list.

I do know how hard it was for him (and me) to be reading about others getting their appt notifications and still not hearing himself, so I understand your anguish.

Please hang in there and don’t be discouraged. We are all thinking happy thoughts for you!
