Representatives from the five service academies will provide information to students, teachers, and parents. Members of the Service Academy Mentor Program will also attend. First Lieutenant Ronald Thomas will speak about his experiences in applying for a nomination to West Point, on life as a cadet, and his current career. The academies provide federally-funded educations and commissions upon successful completion of studies.
Graduates then have an obligation to serve in the respective service for a certain number of years.
I invite all interested students, parents, teachers, counselors and school administrators to attend.
