Milledgeville, GA – Congressman Jody Hice (GA-10) today
announced that he will host his annual Service Academy Day on Saturday,
September 3rd on the campus of Georgia Military College. The event
is designed to familiarize students with the application and nomination process
for the nation’s five military service academies. Students in grades
eight through twelve are invited to attend. The event will take place
from 3 p.m. until 5 p.m. in the Goldstein Center for the Performing Arts
Auditorium, where representatives from the United States Air Force, Naval,
Military, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine academies will discuss their
requirements for admittance.
“Our Nation’s service academies have a long tradition of
developing tomorrow’sleaders,” said Congressman Hice. “They
provide top-tier undergraduate education that trains their cadets or midshipmen
to become commissioned officers for the United States Armed Forces.
Attending a service academy is a priceless opportunity, and I encourage
students to come and learn about this competitive process so that they may
prepare to meet, and exceed, the academies’ requirements.”
All students admitted to our nation’s military service
academies must first receive a nomination from at least one member of their
state's Congressional Delegation, the Vice President, or the President of the
United States. Students, who are seeking Congressman Hice’s nomination,
should submit a completed application to the Monroe office by October 10,
2016. To access the application and learn more about the academy
nomination process, visit his website at http://hice.house.gov/constituent-services/serviceacademynominations.htm or
