Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) announced that he is accepting applications for nominations to the U.S. military service academies for the 2016 school year. Senator Barrasso nominates Wyoming students to compete for appointments to the Military, Naval, Air Force and Merchant Marine academies. Nominating some of Wyomings best and brightest students to our nations military academies is one of the greatest privileges I have as a U.S. senator, said Barrasso. I strongly encourage all those students who are interested to apply. Young men and women interested in U.S. service academies apply to members of Congress for nominations. Senator Barrassos Academy Nominations Board evaluates all students who apply based on academic achievement, leadership, extracurricular and athletic activities.
