<p>I thought I would make a thread for all those who have received nominations. It's one step closer to the Academy!!</p>
<p>I received my letter today from Congressman Marty Meehan from the 5th Congressional District in Massachussetts. It was quite exciting opening the letter. I felt nervous and scared then relieved when I read the first few words. I must admit it was a great Christmas present!!</p>
<p>Senator Cornyn (TX)
Congressman McCaul (10th district TX)</p>
<p>I applied to Senator Cornyn (TX), Hutchison (TX), and Congressman Carter (13th district TX).</p>
<p>BUT i cancelled my applications because i'm going to NAPS.</p>
<p>congrats wisconsinavy2010 and hornetguy! that's awesome!</p>
<p>Dd has a nomination to Navy and to AFA. She also has an LOA to each and cleared her last DoDMERB hurdle last week. It's going to be a nice Christmas... Good luck to all in the quest...</p>
<p>If my son already has nominations to all the academies he is interested in, is there any reason to go for an interview with another congressperson--it would be a duplicate nomination if he got it.</p>
<p>I got a nomination from my representative today!! woohoo almost there!! Thanks to everyone who helped!!</p>
<p>Congrats!!!</p>

<p>I got a nomination from my congressman in NY!</p>
<p>I'm in NY too. Was it from a senator?</p>
<p>Nomination from congressman received today- another step in the journey!</p>
<p>senator kay bailey hutchison, tx</p>
<p>Congrats, I applied to her also.</p>
<p>My son got his Dec. 14. Don't they all have to be in by Jan 21?
Maybe then we will hear something about the appointment.</p>
<p>Our Congressman's website clearly states that he informs USNA by Jan. 30th. so I guess there are some that come at least that late. We live in CA so they may be the later ones, but I don't know - since it seems that other states have been weeks if not months ahead of our interview dates, etc.</p>
<p>I just called my senator to ask when the nominations will arrive since I'm going to CWV on Jan. 27th and the whole thing would be pointless if I don't receive a nomination. The staff said it will arrive NEXT WEEK. wow. At least he called me yesterday and asked me whether I received a nomination from other source... I don't know if that's a good thing or not.</p>
<p>Senator John Cornyn (TX): airforce academy
Congressman Sam Johnson (3rd district): naval academy!</p>
<p>yay for them!</p>
<p>What makes me happy is you have an LOA, so that slot won't count w00t. I'm competing against 8 others now. yay!</p>
<p>My son checked in with our MOC's. No nomination decisions re:anyone until the end of the month. So are we the latest state? I guess that makes sense why nobody that we have heard of in Oregon ever hears until really late about appointments.</p>
<p>Oregon Mom ...our Congressman did his interviews on Dec. 17th....and waits a full month until Jan. 16th to send out his letters. He says this on his website. Urgh....I know other offices that turn these things around in 1 week! But there ain't nuddin I can do about it but wait, like the rest of us.</p>
