Hi everybody.
I live in South Dakota where we only have one MOC. My question is this: If I have one MOC and two senators, and supposing that each one has one open nomination slot (4 already at the specific academy), is it only possible for three kids from SD to go to each of the Service Academies (3 to USNA, 3 to USAFA, etc...)?
I only ask because USAFA is my first preference, but many many kids from my state want to go specifically to USAFA (Air Force being their one and only choice). So do the Academies ever take more than five nominations at the school at one time from each rep, or is it possible for more than 3-5 to gain a nomination to a service academy?
The only solution I could think of that would allow for multiple nominations to be given out were if the Service Academies reviewed the possible nominated candidates and chose which ones to offer appointments to based on the current number of Cadets from each state.
I'm sorry if this post is confusing. I would be happy to elaborate on any parts that may seem confusing. Thanks for the quick responses. I appreciate it immensely.
