Each moc is allowed up to 5 cadets, charged to them, at the academy at any one time. Mind you I said charged. Those who didn't get their moc slot, but got an appointment in the national pool, do not count towards the 5 for the moc. Even though they must have a nomination, national pool doesn't count towards the 5. There is not quota other than approximately half the class are moc slots. From the national pool, if the academy wanted to, they could appoint the remaining 300+ from the national pool, all from Texas if the seemed fit. Its unlikely, but allowed. In general, there are about 550 moc slots. About 150-200 military slots. The remaining 300+ are suppose to come from the national pool and prep school. Where they live is irrelevant. Whoever has the highest scores.
