An LOA is only a "guaranteed offer of appointment" provided you satisfy the conditions listed on letter itself. For example, my son's LoA from USNA was a two page letter specifying he had to satisfy the "checked" items on the letter. The "checked" items were "nomination" and "Medical Qualification." The deadline for completion is March 1, 2008.I was under the same impression as btown, that you could only get a LOA pending a nomination or DoDMERB. In the event that you did get a LOA without a CFA I would still score well. Surely if you fail every event, they will revoke the LOA>
Other options listed but not checked for my son in particular were: Blue and Gold Officer Interview, and a list of items under the heading "Required Application Documents" and these were: Personal Data Record, Personal Statement, Candidate Fitness Assessment, Candidate Activities Record, English Teacher Recommendation, Math Teacher Recommendation, High School/College Transcript, Official Test Scores. I would think that all of these items must prove satisfactory and confirm the assertions made on the application. So "passing" the CFA is still necessary...
