Senators Shaheen and Ayotte are holding a NH Military Service Academy Day on May 9th, which will also include the attendance of representatives from the USMA, USMMA, USAFA, USCGA, and USNA. “For students who are interested in obtaining Service Academy Nominations from the NH Congressional delegation and for those interested in attending any of our Nation’s Service Academy’s.” Staff from NH Congressional districts will also be there. My son is a sophomore at a boarding school and thus would need to skip athletic commitments to attend and fly back to NH. He wants to attend this meeting, believing it’s not too early to start the process. My take is this NH Service Academy Day is for rising seniors vs. juniors and thus he should wait to attend in May 2016. Thoughts?
I agree with him that it is not to early to get started in the process and know exactly what he needs to do for the process. Our DD went to his first one of these meetings as a Freshman. He then was focused on everything needed to enhance he candidate profile for admissions. He received appointments this year to both USNA and USMA and is not making his final decision on which he will accept.
