<p>Pasquinel - in response to your specific question I sent you a PM. </p>
<p>In brief: I am aware of more than one case where an LOA did not result in a nom. Off the top of my head I very clearly remember one USNA LOA candidate that did not get a MOC nom a few years ago (maybe 2 or 3). Reason MOC refused to give this nom: failure to apply for all noms for which he was eligible.</p>
