It could be a typo, but it also could be that the MOC actually has 2 slates. The MoC can nom a candidate for both slates. I would have him contact that MoC. The 62 means they are the junior Senator. Hope that helps.

...But now it looks like he's received two more nominations from the same source, on the same day.......which doesn't make any sense to us.

Is this a typo? Is there any way to figure out the source of WI62? At this point we're guessing it's Senator Baldwin.

I can't confirm which WI Senator it is but whichever one it is has two openings and your Son has been nominated for both slates.
 
Anyone else heard from Cornyn or Cruz? My DS received USAFA Principle and USNA alternate from MOC but nothing from state, not even 'thanks but no thanks' letter. Fingers crossed for USMA from either of them.
was wondering the same thing and maybe if they talk between the offices; I know texas has TONS of asks. we're also a full week behind on receiving mail so I don't even know if there's a letter inbound for the one he did get from rep.
 
Hi Pima & cptenca,

Thank you both for the insight. From what you've said, and from a few other things I found in the last two hours, it looks like Senator Tammy Baldwin nominated DS to both of the slates she has for this year. I hope that being nominated to three slates by two sources increases his chances of an appointment.

The way it works is simple. Your DS has 3 noms. He will compete against everyone on each slate. Highest WCS wins the apptmt. for that MOC slate. At the end if he doesn't win a nom from one of those 3 slates, he will move onto the national pool.
 
Son got a nomination from the USNA from Don Beyer (VA-08). Informed via US Mail yesterday.

We are trying to keep expectations in check - but - given how very competitive Northern Virginia is - we take it as a positive sign.
Awesome!!!! My DS got one from VA-11. Always nice to see other VA's here. I wish the best for your DS!!

DS is 3Q'd but is thinking of retaking his CFA to increase his WCS. He got a 562 on his CFA at SLE back in June, but he thinks he can score a 650+ on a retake. A local HS PE Teacher is willing to proctor his retake. Hopefully January isn't too late. Do you think that will help?
 
Greetings Nomination fans!

I've got a peculiar question for you people of knowledge & wisdom. This morning DS did his daily check of his candidate portals and noticed a change in his USMA Nominations section. It reads like this:

WI06 Dec 6, 2018
WI62 Dec 20, 2018
WI62 Dec 20, 2018

The first nomination is from our Congressman Glenn Grothman (Wisconsin 6th District). Back on December 1st DS received a letter from Senator Ron Johnson congratulating him on his nominations to all four SAs from Congressman Glenn Grothman, then it said this "The Wisconsin congressional delegation works collaboratively to give all qualified applicants from Wisconsin the greatest opportunity to compete for a limited number of service academy nominations. We make every effort to avoid duplicate nominations to any academy." DS hasn't heard anything yet from Senator Tammy Baldwin's office. But now it looks like he's received two more nominations from the same source, on the same day.......which doesn't make any sense to us.

Is this a typo? Is there any way to figure out the source of WI62? At this point we're guessing it's Senator Baldwin.

Thanks for your help.

I read on another thread that 61 was JR senator and 62 was senior senator?! But I’ll search to confirm.
 
Be careful, I read the same thing and assumed when DS received a nomination from FL61 that he had been nominated by our Senior Senator Bill Nelson, only to find out a week later than my son had been nominated by our Junior Senator Marco Rubio who indeed is FL61.


Therefore, in Florida is exactly the opposite the Junior Senator is 61 and the Senior Senator Bill Nelson is 62.

Bill Nelson just lost the elections so next year in Florida the statement that the Senior Senator is #1 will be accurate being that Rick Scott is about to become the Junior Senator.

Contact your congressman to ensure you were nominated twice. My portal shows two nominations from my district... it is an error.

Skipper07,

That's good advice, DS says he'll contact Senator Baldwin's office to confirm the his nomination status. But, I'm just wondering, did your congressman's office confirm that your apparent double nomination was an error? Every congressman does get a double slate every four years, and others on this forum have said that they've seen double noms from a single source in the past.

Much more complicated than that. Each MOC can have 5 at the respective academy. Not just a four year cycle. If a cadet leaves during beast then there is another opening for next year. If all 5 charged to one MOC left, failed out, got arrested, abducted by aliens, then the MOC could submit 5 slates.

My son, several years ago, received 2 noms from same MOC. MOC submitted 2 slates although we have no idea if both slates were identical or if some names were on one slate and all or only a portion on the other slate.
 
Apparently Senator Chris Coons (DE-AL) sent his nominations out for Navy. Can't find any information on the other service academies. Would anyone know if other nominations for Delaware went out?

What if the senator number has something to do with the class he/she is? Look up their class here:
