Our DS accepted his appointment for the USMMA Class of 2028 and hope this timeline may ease the waiting game.
2023
29SEP: Nomination Packet Submitted to SEN Kaine (Virginia) and Congresswoman Wexton (Virginia)
1OCT: Deadline for Nomination Packet to VA Representatives
9NOV: On-Site Interview with Congresswoman Wexton
19DEC: Received Nomination to USMMA via FEDEX from SEN Kaine
2024
16FEB: Received Phone Call from Congresswoman Wexton- Congratulating DS for nomination to the USMMA
21FEB: Received Appointment Letter from USMMA via FEDEX
Top 3 Observations:
Ensure you follow up on your DODMERs status 2-3 times a week to ensure no additional information is needed. Use the DODMERs Point of Contacts provided. They are most helpful and respond in 24-48 hours for any actions or concerns.
Build relations with your state and local representatives' staffers to ensure packet process is complete. Leverage their experience to shape your nomination packet requirements.
You WILL wait. Search this forum. This was much helpful in understanding the process and found many issues my DS had and found answers to mitigate.
All the best to you and your DS/DD. The journey is so worth it!
