Academy Nominations

One important responsibility I have is to nominate young men and women for appointment to our military service academies. I have a strong interest in making sure that our military services have the highest quality officers in their ranks. One of the best routes to a career as a U.S. military officer is by attending one of the service academies. If you are a young man or young woman who wants to serve our country, I encourage you to consider applying to one of the military academies.

If you have not already done so, you should first contact the academies in order to receive pre-candidate information from the schools.

Academy Nomination Process »

I use the competitive method of nomination. This procedure allows each applicant a fair chance to compete for available openings. Selection is based on the applicant's academic record, college board scores, extracurricular activities, motivation, character and leadership abilities.

In order to be considered for a nomination, please complete and submit the following to my Detroit office:

  • Online application.
