“The nominations I’ve made in consultation with my advisory committee are students with excellent prospects for success as military leaders. I’m proud to endorse them for academy study and military service,” said Hobson, a senior member of the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee.


The academy candidates recently appeared before the 7th Congressional District Academy Review Board for interviews. The Review Board, comprised of educators, current and former military officers, and community leaders, ranked candidates according to their academic and athletic accomplishments, extracurricular activities, and leadership ability. Previously, the students had submitted high school transcripts, standardized test scores, letters of recommendation, and a written essay to Hobson.
