(Washington D.C.)- U.S. Rep. Sander Levin is currently accepting applications from students seeking a nomination to one of the four U.S. Service Academies: Air Force Academy, Naval Academy, Military Academy, and the Merchant Marine Academy. Applicants must live in the 12th Congressional District, and must be U.S. citizens between the ages of 17 and 21. All students seeking admittance to the Service Academies must first receive a nomination from one of the three authorized nominating sources: U.S. Representative, U.S. Senator, and the Vice President.
“I enjoy the opportunity to outreach to students interest in this opportunity to match their academic goals with service to our country,” said Rep. Levin. “I am always impressed by the dedication, hard work and enthusiasm of the students who apply, and the families and teachers that support their goals.”
Last year, Rep. Levin nominated James Raab of St. Clair Shores, who was then offered an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Mr. Raab, a 2009 graduate of South Lake High School, reported for duty at West Point in June. His proud parents Karen and Michael Raab recently informed Rep. Levin that their son successfully completed six weeks of Cadet Basic Training (CBT), also referred to as the "Beast Barracks." CBT is one of the most challenging events a cadet will encounter over the course of their four years at the Academy.
Students interested in applying for a nomination should contact Congressman Levin’s district office at (586) 498-7122 or (248) 968-2025. Upon doing so, they will receive an introductory packet containing the application and detailed instructions for the nomination process. The deadline for submitting applications is November 20, 2009. For more information please contact Congressman Levin’s district office or visit:
