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.
