Hoping to simplify the situation for you... the application to USNA is entirely separate from your application for a nomination. As noted above, your MOC controls his/her nomination process from application to awarding the noms. The confusion seems to arise from a less than complete understanding of the terminology and the processes themselves. The processes tend to run parallel in time and information that is being requested. If you have any questions about the nomination process call the local office of your MOC. If you have questions about your application to one of the SA's contact your BGO, ALO, etc. Best wishes
