The Green Country Military College Fair was held at OSU Tulsa on Saturday, with representatives from the United States Naval Academy, Air Force Academy, Military Academy West Point, Coast Guard Academy, and Merchant Marine Academy presenting information to prospective students. The fair was open to anyone interested, with a target audience of students in grades 6 through 12.
Why it matters
The fair aimed to give prospective students direct information about the academies and raise awareness of them within the community. Military academies have more demanding entry requirements than typical universities, so early exposure can help students understand the path ahead.
Military academies require a congressional nomination, a medical exam, and a physical fitness test for admission. Five academies sent representatives, including the Naval Academy, Air Force Academy, West Point, Coast Guard Academy, and Merchant Marine Academy.
The players
United States Naval Academy
The Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, is the U.S. Navy's four-year undergraduate college for training commissioned officers.
The details
Lamar Guillory, a Blue and Gold Officer with the United States Naval Academy, presented information at the fair. Students who missed the event can find details on each academy's online admissions page or contact local field representatives through their school counselors.

College Pathways
Service academy admission requires a congressional nomination, unlike most civilian colleges, which makes early outreach to students in middle and high school especially relevant. Events like this one help families understand that multi-step process before application season begins.
Students interested in a military academy should begin the nomination and admissions process early, since congressional nomination is required. Families can contact school counselors to get connected with local field representatives.
The takeaway
Students considering a military academy should plan early, because the nomination, medical exam, and fitness test all take time to complete before application deadlines.
