Press Release
WASHINGTON— Congressman Markwayne Mullin (OK-02) today announced seven nominees from Oklahoma’s Second Congressional District to our country’s service academies. Nominations are available for the U.S. Military Academy, U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Air Force Academy, and U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. Receiving a nomination from a congressional office is the first step in the process of attending a service academy and a nomination does not guarantee admission.
“Attending a service academy is an invaluable experience that shapes young men and women into our next generation of leaders,” Mullin said. “This year, there was more interest than ever in applying to the academies and I am honored to nominate seven students for three of the academies. I wish these bright applicants the best as they continue the application process.”
