Great Falls office will also be available. Brasen acts as Burns' service academy advisor. Any Montana student interested in attending any of the five service academies is welcome to speak with Brasen about the admission process. A nomination is required in order to be considered for an appointment to a military academy.
Academies review the list of nominees and make the final offers of appointment.
Burns makes his decisions for nominations based on recommendations from his academy review board. After interviewing candidates, the review board advises Burns of its choices for principal nominees and then selects competitive alternates. The board's recommendations are based on academic aptitude, leadership qualities, personal character and physical abilities. The service academies offer great opportunities to young people, and I am committed to helping Montanans benefit from those opportunities. Burns can nominate Montanans to any of the five service academies.
