ACADEMY DAYS:
Each September Senator Feingold, Senator Kohl, Congressman Petri, and Congressman Kagen, hold an Academy Information Day. This year's event is Saturday, September 20th 2008, from 10:00am-12:30pm 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.
