Idaho Senator Mike Crapo has nominated 39 Idaho
high school students for continuing education
and service as a part of the nation’s military
academies, including Alan Orr, Bonners Ferry,
nominated for the U.S. Air Force Academy.
The students’ applications will now be
considered by four of the U.S. service
academies, where the final selections will be
made.
“It is one of my highest honors every year to
nominate Idahoans to be involved with the
excellent education and spirit of service
demonstrated by our military academies,” Crapo
said. “Our service academies build leaders whose
service benefits all Americans by protecting our
nation. I salute these courageous men and women
and their families for choosing to serve and
defend our freedom.”
Each year U.S. Senators and Representatives make
nominations to four of the service academies.
The academies then select from the students
nominated.
Crapo made nominations to the following four
academies: the U.S. Air Force Academy, Colorado
Springs, Colorado; the U.S. Merchant Marine
Academy, Kings Point, New York; the U.S.
Military Academy, West Point, New York; and the
U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland.
Congressional nominations are not required for
students attending the U.S. Coast Guard Academy.
To be eligible for nominations, each student
submitted an application and references, and met
certain scholastic requirements under a
deadline. A nomination does not guarantee
acceptance.
Those wishing to apply for future nominations

Idaho Office in Coeur d’Alene at (208) 664-5490. |
