YES.
My family drove to two different events in our state -- one was 2 hours away, the other was about 3 hours away. They were both multi-service events (USMA, USNA, USAFA, USCG, and USMMA) and although both meetings were
similar in content, the presenters were different. That alone gave each event a slightly different perspective on the academies. At our second meeting, the local MOC and her staff were present too -- which was an
outstanding way to make an personal introduction.
Ultimately, DS did secure and interview + nomination for USMA. He's 2028 and counting the days!
