GA Academy Day

<p>for any one who is either: a parent of a cadet who attended a GA academy day or who was/is a cadet who attended a GA academy day or who has info about the upcoming GA A.D., i have 2 questions: i am 14 and am a rising freshman. are there many people who attend that are my age, or should i wait till im older to go? and does anyone know the "course of events" at the academy day? </p>

<p>thanks in advance</p>

<p>yah, same question for me. and also, where can you find out when an academy day is held in your area?? i have looked it up many times on the internet but i havent had any luck. </p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>You need to visit the web sites of your senators. It will be under something like students or constituent services.</p>

<p>okay, thanks! i will be sure to take a look! wow you responded fast!</p>

<p>i took a look at it but i still had trouble finding anything. i searched the whole thing. i am looking for a missouri academy day.</p>

<p>2012Cadet -- I posted info on your earlier thread concerning the next planned Academy Day in GA. You can find it at</p>

<p>You are not too young to attend, and will find others your age beginning to gather information. As you can see on the announcemnt they have invited all students in grades 8-12. It is for anyone who would like to gather information to help them learn more about the Academies and plan. Being on the radar screen is never a bad thing. </p>

<p>There will be a short program with the various members of Congress (or their representative) speaking about their requirements, and each Academy will have someone give a short talk on their program. After that there will be tables set up with information available and the opportunity to talk on a more individual basis. I know West Point will have several recent graduates there -- my son has been asked to speak -- and representatives from the Parents Club available for parents and candidates to talk to. USMA usually sends someone from Admissions. </p>

<p>If you have any specific questions you are welcome to PM me.</p>

<p>If you are from a state other than GA, and you haven't found info about an Academy Day in your area, the easiest way to find out will be to call the Academies coordinator in your MOC's office.</p>

<p>If you aren't sure how to contact your MOCs, here's a useful link:

<p>okay, thanks!</p>
