Get-Togethers


Post #8

Get Togethers

I don’t really remember the exact word for what they are called, but during the application process to an academy you will need to get your senators or congresspersons stamp of approval to get it. I’ll go into more detail about that later. The Congress people usually have representatives that hold large get togethers in auditoriums nearby where you are. My parents and I had to travel a little far in order to get to mine, but it was totally worth it. There you can get more information on the application process and the interviewing process for getting a recommendation from your Senator or Congressperson. Don’t wait too long to do this. Call the office of each person that could possibly endorse you, and they will give you more information. At these meetings, DON’T BE AFRAID TO ASK QUESTIONS!!!!!!!! Get all the information that you can. This is one of the most important parts of the application process to get in. In some states like California or the bigger ones, it’s not so bad because there are many options, but in a smaller state, the competition is fierce because there are only a limited number of people that can give endorsements. You will need interview skills for this too.
