My DD got her nomination in the mail today, big envelope with a fancy certificate. No phone call. I have no idea if it's on the portal, I don't think my DD checks it regularly.
Congrats to your DD. Hopefully an appointment will soon follow.My DD got her nomination in the mail today, big envelope with a fancy certificate. No phone call. I have no idea if it's on the portal, I don't think my DD checks it regularly.
So, what happened when you got there? What was the news? Inquiring minds want to know.So the bottom line is no one else was requested to appear at the MOC's office, correct? I thought it was unusual.
There is a local girl that is a friend of my son, she applied to west point and was asked to be there at the same time. She's basically a sure thing as her father is the local admissions liasson for one of the SA's and she's also a very quality candidate to boot. She deserves to get in on her own merit so her fathers position is just icing.
A local AF athletic recruit that has already received his appointment was NOT requested to be there.
It's tomorrow at 13:00. Say a prayer please.So, what happened when you got there? What was the news? Inquiring minds want to know.So the bottom line is no one else was requested to appear at the MOC's office, correct? I thought it was unusual.

It's a 2 hour drive so we'll leave about 3.5 hours before. Miami traffic can be a nightmare.

You can definitely visit with him. Anyone can visit the campuses, stop by admissions and do tours. Not sure if your DS has done a CVW at USNA... if he hasn't, might be worth asking for one to make an informed decision. If my memory is correct, USAFA does not do many overnight type visits except some limited programs. Congrats to your DS! Hope the BFE arrives soon. Oh and I would like to point out USNA beat USAFA in women's basketball last night!
Coach, I am so thrilled for you and your DS. If you can afford it, I would at least go back to the USAFA one more time. What a hard decision to make. Congrats.Tried to update last night but the site was down
It was as I suspected, he received the nomination in person. Our MOC just wanted us there for a photo op. They sent it into USNA yesterday so not sure when his portal will reflect it.
So - he has an LOA and a Nom and is 3Q so an appointment should be offered soon. He also has a senatorial Nom for AFA, he wants to wait and see if he gets an appointment there. Then he has a decision to make.
A few weeks ago he was sure it was Navy, now he's reconsidering AF with a slight lean towards Navy. He likes both very much and it's obviously a very tough and important decision. He has 2 good friends that are likely to go to Navy and 1 that is attending AF
My suggestion to him is to visit both again if he does get an appointment from AF which I think is likely, but not a given of course.
Does anyone know what the policy is regarding me visiting both with him?
