Anyone heard from Roger Williams office? 25th?
True story - So wifey calls me in the middle of the day today crying and says "I got a phone call". I think the worst and that someone died so I started to brace myself. She continues to cry and so I said "Who called?". She replies in greek or some foreign language mumbling I don't understand but I recognize the words "Ted Cruz". So I say "TED CRUZ?!?". Shes says "Yes, Ted Cruz!". I say "Did something happen to Ted Cruz?" There's more crying and I'm still clueless to what is going on and then she gets composure and said "Ted Cruz's office called and offered DS a nomination!". Then a lot more crying. DS phone died earlier this week and they'd been trying to reach him so they called my wife whose number was listed as our home phone. He called them back and accepted.
We're all in pretty much in shock as we live in a very competitive district and didn't expect a nomination. One of our older sons went through this process without a nomination despite an amazing resume so we've felt the pain. His story ended well as he went plan B and it was perfect for him.
It's been a great day. DS is so happy. He's 3Q w/o a LOA so we're still not there but to get that call was so awesome. Hang in there to everyone as it sounds like they're starting to send out the noms.
Awesome story. Congrats! What district are you in?Wonderful story!

Congratulations! Can you detail what is says on your portal, on the overview page, under the nominations section at the bottom? Does it list 2 nominations with a green check next to it? Do the numbers match?Received Ernst and Grassley (Iowa) senator nominations for USAFA on December 3rd!
Congrats!!Got a call from Senator Feinstein's office tonight; I got the USNA principal nomination!!! (The representative from Feinstein's office, a graduate of USNA, mentioned I would get a formal letter in the mail notifying me of this and that it would show up in my application portal within the next few weeks.) Thank you to everyone on this website for your help, guidance, and support. Your experience and knowledge has been so helpful and it has helped me to be well on my way of pursuing a longtime goal of mine. Good luck to everyone and your sons and daughters--I hope to see you/them at the Academy! (I'd also be happy to share my grades/test scores, extracurricular activities, essay, recommendation sources, and other things that helped me get this incredible honor if it would help anyone with their process. Feel free to message me!)
Here is a ss of my portal. Im not exactly sure what you mean with the green check and matching numbers. Maybe it's different for the Westpoint portal? I only applied to USAFA. I got a phone call and a letter from both of their offices to confirm.Congratulations! Can you detail what is says on your portal, on the overview page, under the nominations section at the bottom?
