You're right. I confused nominated with appointed. Every friend of my
that was nominated, ended up at an academy, so I didn't notice the
distinction.
I'd have known this if I'd have pursued an academy that required a
nomination. I was an alternate to attend the only service academy that uses
competitive admissions instead of the nomination/appointment process.
I guess it's possible that somebody owned Campbell's family a favor. You're
right, records would be hard to obtain.
