Not Hawaii man.. don’t come here it’s so awfulTWE. Finally, what a load off. I knew it was coming but man they sure dragged it out. I'll find a commission elsewhere, maybe somewhere with a beach . . .
Good luck! Get ready to "Embrace the Suck!" That was my DD plan C a couple years ago (Norwich was plan B, Marine option). But after setting foot on campus after being waitlisted she knew that was where she was meant to be. Hasn't looked back since! Says it has been the BEST decision!Just got turned down so now off to plan B with NROTC at The prison on the Ashley(The Citadel)
I was pretty sure my DH was going to stage a SAF / USNA portal intervention if we didn’t hear definitive news today!Someone needs to block me from the website. I keep refreshing it every 5 minutes
11I'm sorry, which district are you in?
For those designated as a Principal Nominee by a MOC, did it indicate so on your portal anywhere? It never did for my DS and now I'm wondering if there could've been an oversight. After reports of people getting Turned Down messages by mistake last week, we know mistakes can happen.
I believe MOC staffers upload a formatted slate via portal to USNA, with appropriate designations and method used.
Though USMA and USAFA are forced to offer an appointment to a p-nom if fully qualified, a slight difference in the legal language allows USNA not to. Most of the time, they do.
I can corroborate Capt MJ's s first statement as fact. If your DS was a principal nominee, it would have been indicated in the nominations section of the portal. By chance, was your DS notified by your MOC in writing that he was in fact the principal nominee? If so, the nomination could have been filed, in error, as a competitive nomination with other candidates on the slate. I hope that this is not the case. That error would be on the MOC staff and not the Naval Academy. Good luck to your DS on this one.
I've heard that Navy isn't required to honor a P-Nom like the other academies are. I hope your son gets off the wait-list.Yes, DS received a letter from the MOC indicating he was a principal nominee. With some prodding, DS emailed his BGO (with letter from MOC) for any guidance last night. Does it seem odd that DS would end up waitlisted with a p-nom? It does to us, but this is our first time going through this process.
ThankWoke up early.... I saw TD for my daughter. Her dream of being on the Yard with her sister is over but she has an awesome Plan B with USCGAS or USMMA. Two great options and really excited for her future. She really worked hard for these opportunities.
It has been fun, nerve-wracking, and stressful, but I enjoyed sharing the ride with everyone. On to awesome plan B's!! I wish everyone great success in the future... Go NAVY! BEAT ARMY!
Wishing you both well onTD IL-12. On to a Falcon Scholarship at NWP then to USAFA (unless his VP nom to WP turns into an appointment.)
My thoughts are you are still in it until you are told otherwise. Go NavyIs it a bad thing I’m still pending as of Tuesday morning?
Understood. My concern is that DS' p-nom wasn't even received/acknowledged in order to be considered.I've heard that Navy isn't required to honor a P-Nom like the other academies are. I hope your son gets off the wait-list.
