Each year one of my duties as a United States Senator is to
nominate qualified candidates to the United States military academies. This
year I, along with members of the Georgia Congressional Delegation, will host
our annual statewide academy event to familiarize students with the application
and nomination process and to expose them to academy life.
The spring
Academy Day will be held on Saturday, April 29, 2017, from 10:00-11:30 AM at
Dobbins Air Reserve Base located at 1408 Dobbins Place, Dobbins ARB, Marietta,
GA 30069. Guests should arrive as early as 9:00 AM to clear security and to
visit information tables. Representatives from all five academies as well as
cadets and midshipmen will be in attendance and ready to answer questions. The
event is targeted to students grades 8-12 and their parents. All attendees must
make a reservation due to security restrictions and present photo
identification to the Cobb Parkway checkpoint for admittance onto the base.
All persons
who are interested in attending must make a reservation by registering online
at https://www.isakson.senate.gov/ by the registration deadline of 5:00 PM,
Monday, April 17, 2017. No exceptions will be made. Students who wish to attend
should visit the academy page on my web site and follow the prompts to
register. Each person, including parents, who will attend Academy Day must
register due to the requirements for entry onto the military base.
Please make
this information available to your college counselors and your students. I am
attaching an Academy Day flyer for you to distribute. Information on this event
and the academy process will appear on my web site,
https://www.isakson.senate.gov/. It will be beneficial to check the web site
before the event to monitor any last minute information or changes. If you need
any additional information, please contact my Academy Director, Nancy Brooks,
in my state office by calling (770) 661-0741.
Sincerely,
Johnny Isakson
United States Senator
