Not sure if this is the right place, please forgive if it isn't.
My son received a nomination as the top choice from his congressman. He submitted all the paperwork and took the PT test. All was submitted by Feb. 28th, the cutoff date. Yet he never got a letter to take his DoDMERB. Needless to say, we got a rejection letter from WP. But I am left wondering how as he met all requirements. I know a nomination is not a guarantee, I went through the process, my brother and his son both graduated from the Point. My concern is that someone dropped the ball and never sent a letter to set up the medical board.
We talked with the USMA contact and were under the impression that after his packet was submitted, he would get a date to go to the DoDMERB facility (5 miles down the road). Never happened.
Can anyone advise on this? Is it too late if that was the thing that was holding him back?
