Has anybody ever heard of an MOC giving more than one nomination to a single SA to one candidate? What is the significance of such?
 
its certainly possible that this year, a particular MOC may have more than one opening at a SA

MOC can nominate 10 candidates for each opening, so could nominate the same candidate to more than one slate
 
A6E Dad is correct. The MOC has more than one vacancy.

The significance is that you are competing on more than one slate, thereby increasing your odds of appointment as a slate winner. It will not increase your odds for appointment as a Qualified Alternate or Additional Appointee.

In any case you must be 3Q for appointment.
 
Example TX61 would appear twice if TX senator #1 had two slates
 
For us it showed under nominations - it showed the multiple from one MOC in addition to those from other MOC.
 
Glad I could help and welcome to a place with a WEALTH of knowledge. This place is amazing for the incredibly uninformed, as I was at the start of this journey for DS
 
My DS also received two noms in portal from Congressman and one from Senator. USMA, VA....It was just listed twice. Two 3Q letters listed on portal as well so not sure what this means. Right now just Praying....Good Luck to everyone.
 
My son has TX?? On USMA and USNA. does that mean he is the principle? I've heard he was the only name.submitted for USMA but that him.and another kid we're submitted for USNA.

The USMA portal does not indicate if a nomination is a Principal. If only one candidate is nominated on a slate, they are the de facto Principal Nominee whether or not it was submitted as a Principal Nomination - if qualified they win the appointment.

I also heard, as my son received 2 noms from one source, the other two noms the Congressman gave had two as well. So the three that received USMA noms each are listed twice. I would assume he has 10 to give, three applied so he gave two to each, but again just a guess....So he has total of three noms listed two from Congressman, one from Senator...but from what I have read one is enough...DS just Praying at this point, all he can do....
 
So there are 4 nominations, and 2 come from the congressman because he has 2 slots to fill. Presumably he nominated 10 on each slate, if 10 applied. A person cannot appear on a slate twice. Usually they just use the same slate twice although it could be 20 different people (which seems senseless to me).

One nom is sufficient. More is better. It's like lottery tickets. This applicant has 4 chances to win an appointment.

Pretty sure our MOC has 20 different names on his two slates this year. I can assure you there are at least 11 different names as DS only received 1 nom from him. There were over almost 70 applicants in our district.
