Congressman Rick W. Allen (GA-12) reminds residents of Georgia’s 12th District that the deadline to apply for his nomination to attend a Military Service Academy is Friday, October 14. To be considered for an appointment to a service academy, applicants must meet various eligibility requirements and be nominated by an authorized person, including a Member of the United States House of Representatives or United States Senate. An appointment to a service academy comes with an obligation and commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation. To be eligible, you must be 17 years of age as of July 1, in the year of admission to a service academy. You must not have passed your 23rd birthday. You must be a United States citizen, unmarried, not pregnant, and have no legal obligation to support children or other dependents. More information on the process is available here. Upon issuing the reminder, Congressman Allen made the following statement: “Our district is home to many outstanding young people who are eager to showcase their patriotism through military service. Furthermore, the privilege of attending a service academy also offers students the opportunity to attain a free education through a career in the military. I am honored to help these students make their dreams a reality through the nomination process and encourage anyone interested in seeking my nomination to please contact our district office in Augusta.” Prospective applicants can reach Congressman Allen’s Service Academy Coordinator, Paul Lynch, by calling (706) 228-1980 or by email at Paul.Lynch@mail.house.gov.
