The question that I have is, what if you are the only Nom for a district and you have similar results? Is it still a fail?

DS DODMERB status still showed “Scheduled” even though he completed and qualified back in October. He contacted admissions and ended up having to upload his SS card. Now that is fixed. Mailed his 7th semester transcripts last week. Got his Nom in December. Waiting for appointment news now.

Yes. In Texas people will move their entire families, change jobs, etc. just to get their kids into better athletic programs. So, yes, people will move to improve their kids chance at a better future, no matter what that means.

Great info. He is 3Q + NOM + LOE. We are hopeful for an appointment. As a business owner I appreciate when applicants stay in touch with me so I didn’t know if RC’s felt the same. Thanks.

As his senior year starts to wind down, my DS has started to receive a lot of awards from his school and other places, most coming with certificates. He has an LOE and a Nom for USMA. My question is, How often should he been communicating with his Admissions Officer? I told him I thought it was...

It is barely the middle of January and I ask my son two or three times a day if he has received any emails or phone calls. TBH I am torn about his desire to attend service academy but I want it so bad for him because he wants it so badly. Recalibration in nice. The anxiety is crazy.

Agreed. Stay positive. He got a nomination for a reason. I am sure he deserved it. Prayers he makes it in. Praying for my DS as well.

Does he have a nomination?

Sorry to hear about this for you. Keep your head up. Service to one’s country is not limited to the military. There are plenty of needs that deserve attention in this great land. Find your passion and live an amazing life doing it. Blessings on your journey.

Awesome. Thanks.

Congrats to you all. Still waiting to see if my DS will get an appointment. TX-19

Ah ok. Thanks so much.

So we got my son’s official letter today from our Congressman. It just states the nomination but does not state “primary” or “alternate” in the letter. Do they usually tell the candidate what position they are in?

For our district there were only 8 completed nomination forms from what I understand. He received his nomination via e-mail last Friday and his letter should be on the way according to the email. The Rep never did any interviews either. Thanks for your knowledge and willingness to comment.

He was also invited to complete the DODMERB review and was cleared and has completed everything including his CFA. He interviewed with his Field Force Rep who had great things to say. We are very hopeful. He has already been accepted and offered presendential scholarships to three Universities...
