To my understanding, the Service Academies pick who receives the Vice Presidential Nomination. Is there anyway of knowing if the Service Academies want you to receive said nomination? Do you have any indication that you are or will be considered by them for this coveted nomination? Or, does the situation play out like you haven't received a nomination yet, things are looking grim for you, but then all of a sudden you are notified that you received the Vice Presidential Nomination?
