Academy Nominations
Thank you for your interest in applying for a nomination to a United States service academy. As a former Marine and a former member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I am always happy to learn of young people who are seriously interested in pursuing a career in the military service and who intend to build the foundation of that career with an education from one of our great academies. Each year it is an honor to nominate a select group of outstanding young Kansans for admission to the Army, Navy, Air Force and Merchant Marine academies.
Best wishes as you pursue a goal of service to America.
