I knew because my NJROTC teacher is a nominating source, and there have been a whole bunch of kids that went from my JROTC unit, and all have said very good things about it.

My AP US History teacher mentioned my name to another teacher and thats how I was recommended. I knew about it cause another friend of mine had gone to the one on Law last spring.

Now that I think about it, I was also nominated for Medicine earlier this year, but I didn't know DID was another branch of the program.

I didn't know about it until I got the letter, but I did have a teacher come up & ask me if I was interested in learning about DID fields. My friends had gone to the Medicine & Law ones previously so I knew of those, not DID.

I've been told by several alumni from my school that this is their ideal recruiting opportunity. Expect reps from a lot of agencies giving out free stuff, or just making their presence known.

Until my AP U.S teacher mentioned it to me, I had no idea. She just told me that she nominated me for this forum trip, and to keep the nominated document just in case I was not able to go. She was convinced that just being nominated would be excellant to put on a college ap.

That was back in March, so I figured that I wasn't chosen to go to the forum. Then I got the letter in the mail...

I was actually nominated by 3 different people. 2 of them teachers and one of them my friend who went last year. I knew what NYLF was about and figured it was probably pretty credible.
