ACADEMY DAYS:
Each September Senator Johnson, Senator Kohl, Congressman Petri, and Congressman Ribble, hold an Academy Information Day. This year's event is at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Aviation Center in Oshkosh. The Aviation Center is located at 3000 Poberezny Road. Academy representatives are on hand to answer questions, and congressional representatives will explain the nomination process. In the fall, watch for announcements in your local media outlets, contact your guidance counselor, or call Senator Feingold's office. If you are interested in applying to a military academy, I think you may find Academy Day helpful. Please call either Senator Johnson or Senator Kohl for up-to-date information.
