Nope, that's not what Craig is saying...Mathematically, once every four years a MOC should have the ability to use a second nomination; hence the 1.25 since they don't all happen the same year but across a broad population (n=536) it should average out to 1/4 each year. Each district will vary by competition, retention of their appointees, and any hold backs/late graduates (there are August and December grads) and legally, the academies only are mandated to accept 4 of those appointees to get technical. My guess is that the actual math would bear out closer to 1.00 than 1.25 especially when you factor in a capped class/corps size, other nomination sources, NWL (Qualified Aleternates), prepsters, and direct admits for class competition goals (Additional Appointees).
