<p>Alright, I have another question for you all. I’ve always wondered how the number of academy appointments added up with there only being 5 slots per senator (even with the alloted military appointmes). Recently though I’ve been seeing many references to the idea that those who’s appointments were submitted through a senator, and recieved a letter of assurance can be admitted without being charged to their congressman’s 5 person limit. Everything else I’ve seen on the academy site etc. makes no reference to this. It would make sense…but I’m not sure right now. Could anyone clarify?</p>
