He got his LOA before his nomination. He failed the medical after.
Thank you!! So my DS scoop is he has 2 secured Noms (one is presidential), an LOA posted on Monday and he was DQ'd with color deficiency last week (we knew he would be). The waiver review begins automatically according to what we were told for color deficiency. I am just curious if anyone has had this scenerio and how long it took if it indeed happened that an Appointment was given.
If an LOA happened after they knew about the dq, I would have read into that as a positive sign. They could have not given the LOA and walked away, right?
Did you your DS get the Appointment in a March/April time frame. We are just so early with it all. I honestly don't know if Admissions knows he is color deficient. Not sure when they see all that.... it's in God's hands!
Iirc - submitted medical end of December. Dq immediately. About a month later he got the waiver signed. End of January - beginning of February.
Did you have to do anything to get the waiver started or was it automatic? Did he get the Appointment end of January beginning of February? Sorry to ask all these questions. You are giving me facts which is very helpful.
There is nothing for the candidate to do. It was automatic. He got the offer of appoint beginning of February.
A1Janitor has been a long time member and great contributor over the years. His DS’s experience was one we all watched. With your DS being found color deficient, mentally prepare for the long haul. His DS was probably one of the few, if not the only, I have seen with color deficiency get an appt earlier in the process (Feb actually is right on the middle of the high admissions cycle). Often, USNA will wait and see how many with color deficiency are 2Q and then figure out who they want to submit waivers for. This often happens later in the process. I know your DS has a LOA now and hopefully that means he will get the waiver. Fingers crossed it happens earlier, but no guarantees. Also, there is nothing he has to do for the waiver, USNA will initiate it.
What is your sons 2nd nom? It’s early for MOC’s.
This happened to me on Monday as well. Have you received an email about it yet? (I haven’t)
My DS received an LOA on Monday and has not received an email from the Dean yet.
My son called the MOC office and told them. They thanked him and said they would pass it to the committee. So everyone knew. (Not a competitive district so it didn’t matter).
No further information for me either, but since I only checked my portal this morning, I am not sure when over the past week it might have been updated. I didn't get a status update email or anything like that.
There would be no emails or letters. Status in the portal is what you have.
Not for my kid, it didn't. And he got it before two of his three interview panels for the MoCs. And he told the other one that had already done the panel that he had just received the LOA,
Thanks. Mine does not one yet. That has been said, unless LOAs given out spread across regions evenly, we don’t know how many your kid competed against. Potentially your kid was assessed against dozens of LOAs. Could that be true?
