<p>i got a letter today saying i was fully qualified and that i was put on the NWL. but i have a primary nomination. this is cause for concern. i emailed MAJ houston. thoughts?</p>
<p>How long ago did you get your nom and was it from a MOC or Service related? Perhaps the nom hasn't been received by the academy?</p>
<p>Are you sure you were the primary nominee? When our Congressman's office called to tell my son he had a nomination, she made it sound like he was the primary. When he got the official letter stating he was a nominee, we found out they don't pick a primary and just send 10 names.</p>
<p>I would check into the possiblity of there being no primary nom, as WAMom68 said. I recall reading somewhere that MOCs/Senators are well on there way to phasing out the whole "principal nominee/alternate nominee" practice and simply handing the academies an unmarked slate of 10 names. I'm sure your Rep/Senator's office would know if you called.</p>
<p>rep's office says: i got a p-nom to WP and a reg nom to USNA
USMA confirmed I had a p-nom.</p>
<p>did WP say anything besides you got a p-nom? like how you got put on the NWL and didnt get an appointment?</p>
<p>Well I am confused. I had heard if you are the primary nominee and fully qualified you would automatically get an offer of admission and not be on the NWL. I am interested to see what Maj. Houston has to say about this.</p>
<p>yeah, i emailed him.</p>
<p>Yeah, something is definitely not right if you got a p-nom and are fully qualified.</p>
<p>well i called up today and they didn't know why I got a letter regard the NWL. They said I will get an offer of appointment in the mail in a few days. thizz. i guess i gotta buy my whole platoon cigars now.</p>
<p>*** stop saying thizz your not a gangster!!!</p>
<p>Congrats 8iz---!!</p>
