The office of Congressman Josh Brecheen has opened the application process for 2024 service academy nominations, which allows selected candidates to attend one of four U.S. service academies: U.S. Military Academy at West Point, U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Air Force Academy, and U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.

Attending a service academy is both an honor and a commitment, as graduates are required to serve in the military for at least five years following their education.

Applicants must submit their completed packets by 5 p.m. on Oct. 18. All required info should be sent to the Honorable Josh Brecheen Service Academy Nomination Board at 223 W Patti Page Blvd, Claremore, OK 74017.
