Interested in a Military Career? It's Time to Apply to Service Academies

From congressman Mike Thompson's Office-

U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-5) announced today that his office is accepting applications from those ages 17-23 who are interested in attending the four service academies requiring nominations: United States Air Force Academy, United States Merchant Marine Academy, United States Military Academy at West Point, and the United States Naval Academy.  The fifth service academy, the Coast Guard Academy, does not require a nomination. 

“It’s an honor and privilege to annually nominate exceptional candidates across our Districts to these four service academies,” said Thompson. “If offered appointments by the academies, these young men and women will receive both a world class education and the skills they will need to become tomorrow’s military leaders.” 

Eligible candidates must be at least 17 years old, but younger than 23, in the year of their admission to the academy, a United States citizen, unmarried, and a resident of California’s 5th Congressional District. Interested applicants should contact Thompson’s Santa Rosa District Office at CA05ServiceAcademy@mail.house.gov or 707-542-7182 for an application packet and further info.
