CATALINA FOOTHILLS, Ariz. — On Thursday Rep. Juan Ciscomani held a “Service Academy Send-Off” event at Reforma in St. Philip's Plaza, 4340 N. Campbell Ave.
Students who want to get into certain military academies need a nomination either from a congressperson in their district, both U.S. senators in their state, or the vice president of the United States. Ciscomani said they’re working with local high school counselors and have a table at high school events to encourage students to apply for military academies.
“Really they look for a well-rounded person so all the way through high school, even throughout my entire life, I’ve kind of been striving my best to meet the idea of what it means to be a member of the Air Force,” Hendrick said.
