No Nomination
My DS received an LOA from USNA, 3Qs, attended NASS, but was not able to secure a nomination! He applied to all qualify nomination sources. The last MOC invited only qualified candidate for interview and my DS was 1 of <20 to be interview for USNA. I cannot imagine there were more than 10 USNA LOA candidates in those 20s, since he was the last MOC to interview SA candidate in the state. Some candidates did not show up for interview, as they already received an offer from USNA from other MOC. From our correspondence with the MOC staff, this is purely my speculation. The MOC wants to maximize the number of state citizen to attend USNA. He nominated X number of qualify candidates without LOA, once he received the word from USNA has offer a candidate to fill up his 1 slate, he would nominate all those with LOA, since LOA recipient will get the appointment without any cost the MOC slate, from what I understand. We're not sure what happen, he miss calculate or the dead line, but regardless. We are disappointed and waiting for VP nomination, which is nonexistence. Plan B and C we go!
