Each year one of my duties as a United States Senator is to
nominate qualified candidates to the United States military academies. This
year I, along with members of the Georgia Congressional Delegation, will
host our annual statewide academy event to familiarize students with the
application and nomination process and to expose them to academy life.
The spring Academy Day will be held on Saturday, April 30,
2016, from 10:00-11:30 AM at Dobbins Air Reserve Base located at 1408
Dobbins Place, Dobbins ARB, Marietta, GA 30069. Guests should arrive as early
as 9:00 AM to visit information tables and to clear security. Representatives
from all five academies as well as cadets and midshipmen will be in attendance
and ready to answer questions. The event is targeted to students grades 8-12
and their parents. All attendees must make a reservation due to security
restrictions and present photo identification to the Cobb Parkway checkpoint for
admittance onto the base.
All persons who are interested in attending must make a
reservation by registering online at http://isakson.senate.gov by the registration
deadline of 5:00 PM, Friday, April 22, 2016. No exceptions will be made.
Students who wish to attend should visit the academy page on my web site and
follow the prompts to register. Each person, including
parents, who will attend Academy Day must register due to the
requirements for entry onto the military base.
Please make this information available to your college
counselors and your students. I am attaching an Academy Day flyer for you to
distribute. Information on this event and the academy process will appear on my
web site, http://isakson.senate.gov. It will be beneficial to check
the web site before the event to monitor any last minute information or
changes. If you need any additional information, please contact my Academy
Director, Nancy Brooks, in my state office by calling (770) 661-0999.
Sincerely,Johnny Isakson
