"For any student interested in a military career, the education offered by our nation’s military academies is one of the finest in the country, if not the finest, and an appointment means that the student will have his or her college years completely paid for….The military academies have rigorous athletic programs, demanding academics, and emphasize basic military skills, history, and engineering. Those who meet the academy challenge will receive a Bachelors of Science, a commission in their chosen branch of service, and unparalleled training in leadership and teamwork." --Earl Blumenauer, Member of Congress
