Stauber Announces Military Service Academy Days for Students

Statement

Congressman Pete Stauber (MN-08) invites students to attend the annual Military Service Academy Days on Saturday, April 30th at the New Richmond American Legion, Saturday, May 7th at the Bemidji City Hall Chambers, and Saturday, June 4th at the Richard I. Bong Veteran's Center in Superior. These informational events are designed to familiarize students who reside within Minnesota's Eighth Congressional District with the application and nomination processes for applying to each of the U.S. service academies.

"The service academy selection is extremely competitive, and Service Academy Days are the perfect chance for interested students to ask any questions about the application process and to learn more about the selection process," said Congressman Stauber. "If you are interested in pursuing a role to serve in the United States Armed Forces, I strongly recommend attending one of the event dates below to receive additional information from representatives from the United States Air Force, Military, Naval, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine Academies."
