“Each year I have the honor of nominating young men and women from the 27th District of Texas to our United States service academies. My office will soon be holding two service academy nights to help students interested in earning appointments to a service academy learn about the application process and eligibility requirements. Representatives from West Point, Annapolis, the Air Force Academy, the Coast Guard Academy, and the Merchant Marine Academy will be on hand to answer questions. There will be a presentation about the Reserve Officer Training Corps, or ROTC. These events are recommended for young men and women between the ages of 17 and 21 and their parents who are residents of the 27th Congressional District of Texas, but are open to any high school student considering applying to our service academies. The first one will be in Victoria, on Tuesday, October 10, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the University of Houston-Victoria, University North Building Multi-Purpose Room, that is Room 114, at 3007 North Ben Wilson Street in Victoria. The second will be in Corpus Christi, on Thursday, October 12, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Veterans Memorial High School's cafeteria, 3750 Cimarron Boulevard.
