Okay, I am thinking your congresswoman's office confirmed you have her nomination. The LOA's come from the academies. LOA means "letter of assurance" or "guaranteed offer of appointment" which is given if the academy wants to give you an assurance before you've satisfied all of the requirements. For example if they consider you highly competitive but you still have to take your CFA or get a nomination or get a medical waiver, etc. So, the member of congress has no say in you getting an LOA, all they can do is nominate you for an appointment. The nomination is only one of the many pieces you need in order to get an appointment, albeit an important piece. Look elsewhere on this forum for statistics on number of nominations versus number of appointments and further to actual appointments accepted by appointees to each academy. Maybe you were referring to your appointment arriving now that you have a nomination and LoA? Sorry, just trying to clear that up Congratulations on your nomination!!Hopefully, I will receive my LoA from my congresswoman as they had confirmed it to me that I got a nomination and will be receiving a LoA. As of introduction to AF, I have a little experience as I am currently attending AFROTC. BCT is not as bad, if you have positive mentality it will be fun.
Congrats to all
