Senator announces 2022 student nominees for Army, Navy, Air Force, and Merchant Marine Academies
U.S. Senator Jon Tester today announced he is nominating 20 Montana students to be admitted to the country’s four prestigious military service academies.
Tester selected these 20 students based on their academic accomplishments, extracurricular activities, and commitment to serving and leading in the United States military. To attend the U.S. Military, Naval, Air Force, or Merchant Marine Academies, a student must be nominated by a member of Congress.
“As Montana’s Senior Senator, it’s a great honor to nominate our state’s best and brightest to the country’s most prestigious military academies,” said Tester. “These students are among Montana’s most gifted young leaders, and I’m proud of their work ethic and dedication to serving their country and communities. I look forward to watching their continued success as they grow into the next generation of America’s military leadership.”
