<p>I never done this nomination process thing, but I know on Westpoint's site, they have the sample letter of the nomination. Do i just copy that, and fill out the blanks and send it to all the congressmen, vice, senate and etc.? Help me out please.</p>
<p>Or do you write your own nomation?</p>
<p>Either way is fine. Just make sure to edit very, very carefully.</p>
<p>DO NEITHER! Most representatives (and the vice president too) have an application you can find on their website. Each one has his/hero own application. In my case they consisted of small essays, teacher recommendations, and normal personal info/transcript/test score stuff. </p>
<p>let me repeat: eash representative has their own specific application!!! use those!</p>
<p>Harri,</p>
<p>I think he was asking how to request the application for a nomination. For this step of the process a candidate can use the sample letter or write their own request letter. </p>
<p>For the application itself, you are absolutely correct. Follow each possible nominator's instructions meticulously. They will be different and have different deadlines.</p>
<p>What's better? to use the sample letter or just write your own request letter? So this request letter is for nomination right? </p>
<p>You also have to get nominated for application too? I'm confused please help me out.</p>
<p>The letter to your Senator/Representative/Vice President is simply asking that you be considered for a nomination. They will return to you a packet that you must complete, dot all your i's, cross all your t's, get your recommendations, etc I wouldn't tend to copy it and fill in the blanks by hand, but rather re-type it exactly as it appears. It is the way it is for a reason; this is the Army; do it their way! Once you complete the required information from your nominating sources, they will either nominate you or not.</p>
<p>Opening a file at West Point has nothing to do with receiving the actual nomination, but in our case our nominating sources required that a file be opened at West Point before they would even send their packet of information. Once a file is opened, which anybody can do, you will start receiving information from West Point as to the application process.</p>
<p>You must (1) apply by opening a file at West Point (which you can do online), (2) request a nomination, (3) be found fully qualified based on the completion of the packet of material from West Point, (4) receive a nomination, (5) received an affer of appointment once steps 1-4 are complete, (6) accept the offer, (7) receive an appointment.</p>
