<p>I was wondering if someone could help me. I recieved an LOA pending a nomination about three to four weeks ago I know that recieving an LOA is a very good thing but I'm afraid to be happy about it because i dont know how greatly it improves your chances of gaining an appointment. If someone could explain what exactly an LOA does for me that would be greatly appreciated. Also I was wondering if anyone knew when the New Jersey senators and congressmen sent letters to those recieving nominations.</p>
<p>As far as I know a Letter of Assurance (LOA) is a guaranteed appointment to the Academy pending successful completion or receipt of the following:</p>
<p>Pass the CFA.
Clearance by DoDMERB. (certain disqualifications can be waived).
One nomination from one of the nominating authorities.</p>
<p>A LOA is a very rare and very good thing. You have an appointment if all other things go through. Good luck.</p>
<p>Thank you and if anyone knows when confirmations of a nomination are sent out in the state of New Jersey please let me know</p>
