I'm not sure what you mean by "depending on the appointee's nomination sources: and "can be charged to a variety of slots." Can you give some examples ?This is a common question, and the answer is it is still possible to be accepted, since appointments can be charged to a variety of slots depending on the appointee's nomination sources.
The knowledge that someone was appointed from your district is meaningless to your child's chances without knowing the other candidate's status. Some possible scenarios assuming your child only has a nomination from this MOC:I see on the class of 22 thread that an appointment has already been given in our congressional district. Does this mean my child won't receive an appointment?
How can we find out how many our MOC have in the USNA at this time?Don’t forget that your MOC can have 5 appointees in the USNA at any one time. So some years for any variety of reasons he can have 2 slates, assuming he submits competitively.
Call the MOCs office and ask how many vacancies there are for the upcoming year.How can we find out how many our MOC have in the USNA at this time?Don’t forget that your MOC can have 5 appointees in the USNA at any one time.

So if all five slates are filled, does my child go into the National Pool for competition ?Call the MOCs office and ask how many vacancies there are for the upcoming year.How can we find out how many our MOC have in the USNA at this time?Don’t forget that your MOC can have 5 appointees in the USNA at any one time.

The method of submission doesn’t affect the vacancies or number of slates.
That situation does not happen. Vacancies are monitored closely to ensure that each MOC has at least one vacancy every year.So if all five slates are filled, does my child go into the National Pool for competition ?

If you are new to this process, I would focus on the big picture and not get overly wrapped up in fine details over which you have no control.
