The office of Congressman Mark Green, USMA Class of 1986, is now accepting applications for nominations to United States Military Service Academies. The application deadline is October 28, 2022 and open to students in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District.

The honor of attending a U.S. Service Academy comes with the obligation and commitment to serve in the military upon graduation. Members of Congress may nominate candidates for appointment to four of the five U.S. Service Academies: The 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 service academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy (USCGA), New London, CT, does not require a congressional nomination for appointment.

To request a Service Academy nomination application, please complete the form listed on Congressman Green’s website. Once the form has been completed, you will receive the application. To be considered for a nomination by Rep. Green’s nominating committee, you must complete the full application provided to you after submitting the online application. Nominations will be based on merit.

Rep. Green said, “As a cadet on the Plain at West Point, I swore an oath to protect and defend our nation. That oath is what drives me. Service Academies create leaders for life, and it is my honor to provide nominations for Tennessee’s best and brightest young leaders.”
