I'm a mom from NY trying to figure out the Nomination process. It is my son who is applying to USNA and USMMA. I also have a daughter who served in the Marines and just returned to civilian life the day before Christmas. 😁💗 She started school last week and is adjusting well. So I'm used to the whole hurry up and wait thing. But this waiting is killing me!!! We could have been through boot camp, a visit home, a deployment and another visit home since we started this process. Lol lol I do not come from a Military family but proud to be one now. I'm new here but learned a lot already. I found it hard to find info to help understand what is going on until I found this site. Thank you to all who post. Good luck to all who are applying. 💗💗

Welcome! I just joined in October and have found this to be the most informative site for any questions you might have about the academies, ROTC and beyond. There is a wealth of info at your fingertips, you just need to use the search feature! I'm from TX and my son applied to USAFA, USNA, USSMA and USCGA. He has a nomination to the Naval Academy, but still waiting on an appointment. He did receive a 4 year AROTC scholarship so he has that as a back up. Good luck to your son!

Thank you!! We are waiting to hear from our senator. I don't know what the process is with that. From what I read in other years, people found out a day or so after the 31st. Idk if we will be notified if he doesn't get it. So I guess long story short I have no idea what to expect as far as this goes. Lol I My guess is all that is going on in Washington may be throwing the timing off for a lot of Senators this year. I wish all the best to your son and your family.
 
Welcome to the forum! Great avatar!

My cat keeps our dogs in line at our house.
 
@MooreMom did your DS interview with your Congressmen? BTW: I also live in the same county as the USMMA.

Lol thank you. We just got two kittens. Him and his sister. We also have a dog. I can see the two little ones will be running the show when they get bigger.

Yes. So, he did get a nom from our congressperson. We were notified yesterday he didn't get one from his Senator. He didn't get an interview with the other senator. We were told to apply for every nomination available to him. I have read so many different things as far as the Nominations go and was confused and overwhelmed. I'm so grateful he got one. Now I have to let it go and hope for the best. There is nothing more he can do.

Which Congressperson?
 
Congratulations to your DS on the Nom! One is all it takes! I live in the 3rd District, Suozzi.
 
Congratulations to those who have received the latest round of appointments and those who have secured nominations, especially in the super competitive districts, such as New York.

I’m originally from Seaford, by Jones Beach. I represent the medical aspect of the application-DODMERB-

You and your son should do this:


Hit “Questions about the Process” on left side of homepage.

You and son read paragraph #4😀

Then son goes to the DODMERB tab on the Forums and look at the “FAST” thread near the top if he needs anything.
