The MOCs in our state give principal noms and then rank the rest of the slate. My DS had no idea that was the case when he submitted his nomination applications. The MOCs do not do interviews in our state. Again, he had no idea and was eagerly awaiting interviews that never happened. The...

First he's heard! Thanks!

The "Your Decision is Ready" envelope just appeared in my DS's portal a few minutes ago. Now I just need to wait for him to finish his AP exam, so he can open it.

1 (800) 443-9266, select option 1, then selected the correct team (Team_Blue ( select 1), Team_Silver (select 2)).

I think we may be waiting until May 1, or a few days after. Maybe they need to get more people declining before they can sort the assigned nomination piece of the puzzle? I'm being optimistic that they want you and my DS, they just haven't figured out the puzzle yet, and they need to move some...

Nothing. Still 100% completed, green circle. It's like he's on a waitlist, but not officially. He's just waiting.

Has anyone else not heard anything, yet? My DS's portal still shows the 100% complete green circle. No envelope. Someone had mentioned hearing that some decisions might not be out until April 24, so I'm hoping that means he hears something today!

We were required to mail in my son's original Social Security card (and an original birth certificate, but I have a few of those) with his passport application. We did that back in February. He has received his passport, but he does not have his Social Security card back. I'm hoping it arrives...

No email for my DS, and still no envelope.

From my DS experience, "Under Waiver Review" does not indicate whether or not a waiver has been requested. The Waiver Authorities have your files available. There could be a waiver requested, there could not be.

The waiver was officially requested by the SA on September 21. He was never asked for AMI. He just waited for almost five months. So this week I called the SA that requested the waiver to see what the status was. That seemed to get things moving. I think the DoDMERB site going down around the...

That happened to my DS yesterday. Today it changed to "Waiver Granted".

The first thing the MOC staffer said is "I'm sure I made a lot of mistakes." He was very nice to talk to me and explain the process. I definitely appreciated that. My son is disheartened because he started seeing on social media this past weekend kids in our state get appointed, and they usually...

All valid points. Thanks. The academies obviously give the MOCs the freedom to do whatever they want for a reason. We will move on and hope for the best.

I posted last week that we learned that all three of the nominations that my DS received were completely ranked--principal nomination and then ranked alternates #2-#10. I spoke to the MOC staff member today and I'm wondering what to do with the information he told me besides fume and wait. I...

Thanks again for all the insight. It was very interesting that the MOCs (staff members) said they didn't give him a nom to his second choice SA because of the medical DQ, and that the medical DQ was a huge issue for them in their nomination process (he spoke to all three staff members on the...

Thank you for your replies. I guess we don't know that the principal nomination method was used. The BGO seemed to be saying that a ranking was submitted to the Academy, so we figured #1 would be the principal nomination. As far as DoDMERB, we were surprised on 9/20 when my son was medically...

BGO contacted DS this weekend to congratulate him with the "awesome news" that he was ranked #3 on Senator1's nomination slate, #6 on Senator2's slate, and #5 on his Representative's slate--all for USNA. This frankly took the wind out of our sails. We hadn't realized the slates were ranked in...
