I believe that you should only need to provide the Coast Guard proof of your application for a TWIC.

that is what i thought when i was in school 6 mos ago? the school sent that proof with my completion papers and proof of me passing my exam, and i got a call a week later from USCG in west virginia stating i needed to fax my TWIC as soon as it came in. that proof of applying was not good enough? -----so i wait in limbo???????????

That will get the application moving at NMC, but they cannot print/issue before you get the TWIC.
