Students can apply through Neugebauer for service academies

Congressman Randy Neugebauer has a reminder for high school students who would like to enter a United States military service academy. The deadline for applying for admission into any of the military academies is next Monday. As a member of Congress, Neugebauer can nominate students from the 19^th District for admission into the U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Military Academy at West Point, U.S. Naval Academy and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. The nominating process is a highly competitive and selective nature, and Neugebauer says applicants should use every possible avenue.  In addition to Neugebauer’s office, applications can also be submitted to Vice President Joe Biden and Senators Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn. More information about application requirements can be obtained by contacting Mary Whistler in the Lubbock office at an 888 number…763-1611.
