Thanks for the good info. I checked nomination status and it says "none". So.....that means he is competitive just no nom. That still sounds very encouraging. My son is away this weekend and does not know his status has been changed to candidate. I hate to get his hopes up but mine sure...
We have not received notification that he received a nomination from our state reps or senators. Could he possibly have been nominated without us knowing it? By definition of candidate on the usafa website it seems he must have gotten a nomination. So is just a step away from appointment...
