I'm really confused by this even after reading various materials. In the WP portal, there is a "Pre-Started Request Letter" addressed to the Secretary of the Army for service-connected nomination including for candidates who are in JROTC. According to the "letter," DS to simply check the appropriate box (JROTC) and mail it into WP. In the same portal, there is "Form 5-497 ROTC Nomination to West Point" which needs to be filled out by a JROTC program official. This form has different return address.
What is the difference between the two? Is the JROTC school official actually making the nomination or just a recommendation for the Secretary of the Army?
