and screening to be offered an appointment. The service academy will
contact the nominee for each of the following: Educational Evaluation,
Department of Defense Medical Review Board, and Physical Aptitude.
The nominees are as follows:
Andrew Eubanks, of Paris, Arkansas to the U.S. Naval Academy

“As some of the most selective institutions of higher education in the
world, these service academies offer young people a unique opportunity
to obtain a first-class education and subsequently serve our country upon
graduation as commissioned officers in the United States Military,” said
Ross. “I am pleased to be able to participate in this process by
nominating some of Arkansas's most accomplished young men and women for
an appointment to these academies.”
