Obtaining Nom from another MoC?

[Christcorp]

Thanks to all for the responses to the original question on nominations. It's pretty clear that all nominees must come from the districts of those nominating them.

But what about the appointments? Can those be "shared"?
In other words, we know there's the limit of having 5 in a SA at any one time. But if one MoC has fewer and no candidates to take them, can a qualified candidate from another MoC's district be assigned to the slate where the capacity is?

Maybe MoC's would not want this to happen but maybe they would do it as a favor to another MoC.

No, a moc from one district without any available slots but candidates can not be on another moc's slate. You already answered the question. You can only get a nomination and slotted appointment from your district. NOW; every applicant is also a citizen of the state. So; if an applicant needs a nomination, and his representative doesn't have any available slots and can't submit a slate; the applicant can still apply to the senator. And "IF" the applicant is one of the BEST of the applicants, the senator may give him/her a nomination. But no, 2 different districts can not share their availabilities.

First off as CC stated for AFA, USNA and USMA that can't happen due to the system regarding charging.

Maybe MoC's would not want this to happen but maybe they would do it as a favor to another MoC.

This can happen, but only for the USMMA.

I smiled at your post because all it made me think of was the NFL draft. Congressman Jones trades their 2017 charge to the AFA for 2 of Cong. Smiths 2018 WP charges.

Or worse yet, the favor aspect. Cong. Smith now gets what in return? A vote on a bill?

Think about the OMG perspective if they did this from a congressman's perspective. Congressman are re-elected every 2 yrs. Imagine Candidate Whatever finds out that their MOC did the favor LY because they had an opening, now TY they only have 1 charge available. Do you think when that sorry, we cannot nom you at this time letter comes out, and they find out about LY, they aren't going to be mad at their congressman? Hell hath no fury like a parent that votes. If it was me, and my child, I would be on the phone with our local, county and state newspaper telling them how he did a favor and due to that fact he had 1 less slate. I would also contact the MOC running against them. I would do everything in my power to see they were not re-elected, because in my mind they didn't represent our district, nor me as a voter. If they had, than they would understand that they theoretically could gather up the charges for yrs until they had 5 charges for 1 yr. It is not they must have 5, it is they may have up to 5.

Again, this MOC issue of noming from another Congressional district only applies to the USMMA so you are not really off the mark, you just confused the fact that USMMA has a different system for this than their sister services.
