Hence my statement: "takes off SOME of the pressure associated with a nomnation"


We don't think we are home-free yet. But I would be more worried if he didn't have an LOA, and had to compete to win a slate, and then wait until April to know......

IMHO, in most circumstances a MOC will find a way to get someone with a LOA on his/her slate unless the candidate gives them a reason not to (poor interview, doesn't fill out application correctly or on time, late for interview , etc). I'm sure it does happen, but more often than not a LOA will give you a higher than average chance of a nomination from one of your MOC's.

We are from Nevada too, DS last year got noms from both a senator and our congressman, and year before got noms from both senators but not the congressman. Congressman sent the letter like a week after interviews. but the senators didn't send him letters until mid-late January.....hope that helps! DS had no LOA....

My DS is not an academy applicant any more he did not receive an appointment 2 years in a row! He went the AFROTC route. I'm glad to not stress about academy stuff anymore, 2 years was enough for this mom. I hop on this forum though to help any other parents through this painstaking process, nice to see some Nevadans here. Were Northern Nevada....
