Chris got a nomination from the Naval Academy. He interviewed with Senator Nelson's panel today for West Point and says all went well.

Did he put in for a Presidential nomination?Thanks for the kind words.
The one nomination he has now was awarded directly to him by the Naval Academy. And we're not sure if it'll have much impact without another outside nomination because it was awarded based on my service-connected injuries. Obviously he wants to get in on his own merit. Apparently he will still meet with his Blue and Gold officer at some point in the near future, so on reflection, I think there's an outside chance.

The more we look into it the better it sounds. Apparently, he'd get an officer's commission upon graduation which would be acceptable for any military branch or merchant marine, a BS degree and a Coast Guard license. So he'd have some options regarding the 5-year service committment.
