Thank you for your interest in attending a U.S. Service Academy!
Download my Service Academy Nomination Packet here.
Acceptance at an academy involves at least a nine-year obligation: four years at the Academy and a minimum of five years in the U.S. Military Service.
It is in your best interest to request a nomination through all sources available to you: Presidential, Vice Presidential, Senatorial, and Congressional. If your father or mother served eight years in the military or was killed in action, you may be eligible for a Presidential or Vice Presidential nomination. Please contact the Service Academies for more information. It is strongly recommended each candidate apply to both U.S. Senators and their Congressman.
