To be considered for a nomination, candidates must submit all required materials by October 23rd, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the most rewarding responsibilities I have while serving the Ninth District in Congress is the opportunity to assist Northeast Georgians in their journey to military service,\u201d said Clyde. \u201cIf nominated and appointed, these young men and women will receive a world-class education, rigorous training, and a commission as a U.S. military officer upon graduation. I strongly encourage qualified students to apply, and I look forward to nominating another incredible group of our nation\u2019s future leaders to America\u2019s prestigious service academies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Background<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each year, Congressman Clyde nominates eligible candidates for appointment to four of the five U.S. Service Academies: U.S. Military Academy (USMA), West Point, NY; the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA), Annapolis, MD; the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA), Colorado Springs, CO; and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA), Kings Point, NY. The fifth academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy (USCGA), New London, CT, does not require a congressional nomination for appointment.<\/p>\n<p>The nomination process is competitive and seeks students who demonstrate academic excellence, leadership potential, strong character, physical fitness, and a commitment to service.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) announced that U.S. Service Academy nomination applications for the Class of 2031 are now open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":38320,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38319","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.3 (Yoast SEO v28.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Rep.
