Hice Announces Deadline Approaching for U.S. Service Academy Nomination
Congressman Jody Hice (GA-10) is currently accepting applications from highly qualified students seeking an appointment to one of our Nation’s service academies. Students who are seeking a nomination must submit a completed application to Hice’s Milledgeville district office by October 9, 2015. Congressman Hice has the honor of nominating eligible students to the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, and U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point. The U.S. Coast Guard Academy is the only one of the service academies that offers appointments solely on the basis of a nationwide merit-based competition, and therefore, no congressional nomination is needed.
“The United States is home to the best service academies in the world,” said Hice. “While traveling the district, I’ve had the privilege of meeting some fantastic youngsters, and I know that many of our students would make great additions to these prestigious academies. I look forward to working with our 10th District students as they embark on the journey to serve our Nation.”

Help with a Federal Agency
One of the most important things I do as a U.S. Representative is help people with federal problems. Although I cannot override the decisions made by a federal agency, I can often intervene on a person’s behalf to answer questions, find solutions, or just cut through the red tape. Please know that I cannot force an agency to act in favor of a constituent. However, I can help communicate the circumstances and request that they take appropriate actions to assist you.
