<p>i had two nominations and later received an appointment without hearing another word from the nominating sources</p>
<p>Hair net, nominating source may not be involved in appointment announcement. In 2006, my son and a h.s. classmate applied to USNA. Our MOC's office didn't return phone calls or answer emails when they tried to learn status of their nom'n app's -- the two of them found out she'd nom'd them when the Academy contacted one w/ NAPS offer, one w/ an appt!
I'm always a little envious when I read about the ceremonies some MOCs hold for appointees. (On the other hand, my son had the greatest BGO in history. Given a choice b/ an engaged MOC and an engaged BGO, I'd opt for the latter.)</p>
<p>whats a moc and BGO?</p>
<p>MOC = Member of Congress</p>
<p>BGO = Blue & Gold Officer</p>
<p>I got a nom from my senator the 14th of janurary and another nom on the 15th. Then like 15 mins after I opened my nomination letter, my congressman called and told me I got an appointment to USNA that would be mailed on the 18th. Im still waiting for the appointment letter from the academy, however.</p>

<p>^^^Congrats!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Welcome aboard, Academyfan!!!</p>
<p>Who is your Congressman AcademyFan?</p>
<p>Rep. Elijah Cummings</p>
<p>Has anyone received a nomination in Tennessee or know when they are generally given? I received an LOA in October but have not heard anything since then and my interviews seemed to go very well.</p>
<p>BIG ENVELOPE CAME TODAY! wow- I can't stop smiling!!!!</p>
<p>now does anyone have any opinions on whether to send in acceptance now or later? does it matter when you do it? should I wait-even if I'm positive I want to go?</p>
<p>You should wait. I was positive that I wanted to go, and now I'm NROTC at Notre Dame.</p>
<p>if you go to <a href="http://www.serviceacemyforums.com%5B/url%5D">www.serviceacemyforums.com</a>, there is a dad over there who said his son called his MOC and they were told that the sen, and cong, get together at one time and do their lists together. I guess they might only give out 1 nom per candidate, in NC the MOCS don't talk to each other so you can get 3 noms</p>
<p>You should send it now...if you know for sure. Why wait?</p>
<p>My son received his appointment via call from our Congresswoman yesterday morning. We are all so proud of him!</p>
<p>PlebeMom2012, many congratulations to your son!!! :)</p>
<p>Today, I was upstairs in my den watching TV, when my dad came up and tossed a large manila envelope onto my lap!!! Go Navy! And the ironic thing is that this is the first day in 3 weeks that I didn't check the mail myself! lol</p>
<p>congrats navypilot!! See you on I-day!</p>
<p>Did the USNA change from a 'blue' packet to a 'manilla' packet this year?</p>
<p>it comes in a manilla packet in the mail- but the actual appointment is in a blue binder (although, as I'm typing this, I am second-guessing myself)</p>
