I feel one, "who earned the right to choose", should not accept all offers and then decline them, because whoever is the next appointee in line would have been offered that appointment. With acceptance of all offers, qualified applicants loose. When the original appointee waits and accepts only the SA really desired, it allows others to be offered appointments that were the MOC chosen applicants. If the MOC is not obligated to fill that spot, it is sad someone missed out on an opportunity -for they I'm sure are just as qualified. If the appointee knows which SA he really wants, wait for that appointment. If an applicant is offered an appointment, it remains their appointment; they don't have to accept it to secure it, (based on my familiarity with USMA guidelines) unless the acceptance deadline arrives. This is just me personal thoughts.
