Rep. Diane Black will host an informational meeting for students interested in attending one of the country’s military academies.
Academy Day 2017 will be held Saturday, Sept. 16 beginning at 9:30 a.m. at Wilson Central High School in Lebanon.
Each year, Members of Congress may nominate a limited number of students to four of the five service academies. The honor of attending a service academy comes with a commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation.
The event will include presentations from the U.S. Military Academy, U.S. Air Force, Merchant Marine, Coast Guard and Naval Academies, as well as from the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC). Following the program, students will be able to speak individually with academy officers and admissions staff.
