Well guys the same thing happened to my DS. His nomination says the following:
"Dear Mr. DS, I am pleased to inform you that based on the recommendation of my Military Academy Screening Committee, you have been selected as our
primary nominee to the United States Naval Academy and also as a nominee to the United States Air Force Academy and the United States Military Academy. The Academy
will make an Offer Of Appointment and will notify you directly if you are appointed. We are proud to announce that you have also been chosen."
When we first received the nomination back in December I questioned the MOC rep because I found the last sentence strange and if "principle" and "primary" the same thing. He to told us congratulations and that DS will be receiving a appointment to USNA and that "principle" and "primary" are the same just that each MOC uses different wording.
Several months go by expecting to receive a congratulations call from the MOC for being appointed to USNA but he calls congratulating DS for being appointed to USAFA. DS was happy but USNA is his first choice so asked the MOC if he knew when he would be hearing from him again for USNA. He told him most likely in the next few weeks. Yesterday by our surprise instead of receiving that long awaited call, DS received a TWE "waitlist".
So my question is to BGOs or anyone that would know, what should we do? Has this happened before? I was told that primary nominee and principle nominee are the same thing just different wording. This was told to me by the MOC rep.
