Not really. Unsuccessful nominees from the principals list will be eligible for the national pool. Unsuccessful nominees from ROTC are at the end of the road. This is why it is so very important for ROTC nominees to also pursue all other nominations to which they are eligible.Similar to how a senator and representative can give out 10 nominations each year...............

When you added the "or 2" out of a single list of 10 to your analogy, you implied national pool which, to me, made it misleading.You are correct, but the analogy was to show that there are more nominees than slots, and just because you have a nomination from a particular slot, that slot may get filled without you.
The correct answers are:
1. You can receive more than one nomination TRUE
2. You only need one nomination to attend a Service Academy. KIND OF TRUE. YOU HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHICH NOMINATION
3. You should apply to all sources with nominating authorities (e.g. = one US Rep; 2 Senators; Vice President) TRUE
4. Many states, not all, are synched so well that they ensure you don't receive multiple nominations, becasue you onle need one. THE STATES ARE NOT 'SYNCHED'. THE INDIVIDUAL ELECTED OFFICIALS MAKE THIS DECISION.
5. There is no differentiation between the importance of the nomination...A nom is a nom....BUT, you must have ONE nom
ABSOLUTELY FALSE. NOT ALL NOMINATIONS ARE 'EQUAL'. SPECIFICALLY IN THE OP'S CASE; IF YOU ARE NOT ONE OF THE 20 CHOSEN NATIONWIDE FOR A JROTC APPOINTMENT, THEN YOU ARE SOL.
This is correct.I was told that noms are SA specific.
No. The nom can only be used for the SA which you are nominated.Or can one nom be used by whichever SA?
There is NO need for me to debate this. I have worked in this position for the past 19 years. I deal with this everyday and have the broadest perspective/experience of anyone that are on these Forums.
