Castor announces her 2016 nominations to U.S. military academies | 2016-11-28 | 2016 | 2016-11 | Democrat | House | FL | Kathy Castor | C001066 | castor.house.gov | legacy | Today, U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor announced the high school students who received her official nomination for admission into the nation’s military academies: Air Force (USAFA), Naval (USNA), Military (USMA) and Merchant Marine (USMMA).“I am proud to have so many students who are interested in serving America,” U.S. Rep. Castor said. “These impressive students are tomorrow’s leaders and by applying to a military academy are demonstrating their commitment to working hard for an excellent education and serving our country. Nominations are earned based upon an interview with the Congressional District 14 Nomination Committee and each student’s individual academic record, extracurricular activities and leadership qualities. Because of the stringent application requirements, most students begin preparing for their application as early as their first years of high school.“I am appreciative of the time and effort of the Nomination Committee – members reviewed each nomination application and met with students individually.”U.S. Rep. Castor will announce official “appointments” at a later date per notification by the military academies. Today’s announcement completes U.S. Rep. Castor’s 2016 competitive nomination process and nominated students who receive an appointment from a military academy will begin for the 2017-2018 school year.All military academies, except the Coast Guard Academy, based upon U.S. law, require a nomination from their congressional representative, senator or the Vice President of the United States as part of the application process.
