Hi Everyone

Glad to share that I have received LOA from USNA and USAFA yesterday. The other part of the story is I don’t have NOMs from congressman and senators. I have applied for VP Nom.

What can I do that is in my hand ? Do you think if I should send some kind of question to my congressman and senators if they have someone dropped out and I can be given that slot.

I am working on plan B,C right now.
 
Do your MOC's know you have those LOA's?

I have not informed them yet. The MOC (congress rep) term expired last year. The new MOC is a different party. My LOA's came after their results were out.

My advice to my own kid would be to craft a polite email to all MOC's you applied to advising them of your LOA. You have no idea if they filled their slates or have had medical DQ's or turn downs.

I think an email is the right approach. Polite and explaining the conditions of your LOA. Make clear how either academy would work even while reminding them of your preference. Hopefully, even if neither works out, one of the academies that gave an LOA will find you the needed nomination.

You may want to call their office and ask to speak to someone who is on the service academies' selection committee. Sometimes these people get rehired by the new MOC.
