The forum, on Saturday, Sept. 17, at Texas State University – Round Rock, is open to students interested in attending a military academy. They will be able to meet with admissions personnel, congressional staff members, current academy cadets, and ROTC advisors.
“One of my greatest honors in serving as your Congressman is that I get to nominate fine young men and women to our Military Academies,” said Rep. Carter. “I encourage all students interested in an opportunity to attend our military academies to take advantage of this forum, and meet with representatives that have graduated from the academies and served our great nation.”
Students in grades 9-12 who are interested in the Academy nomination process or a career in the military as a commissioned officer are encouraged to attend this event. By law, an applicant must be a U.S. Citizen, at least 17 years old, and a resident of the Texas 31st District, among other requirements.
