So my awesome little (yes, even though legally he is now an adult he is still little to me) brother is currently in the process of applying to the military academies at West Point and Annapolis. A huge part of this application process is receiving a nomination from a senator or state representative. Each rep can only have a certain number of nominees in any of the given academies at a time AND the process to even get an interview can be highly competitive (300 people applied for McCain's nomination and only 52 of those applicants were selected to be interviewed!). Jon has had interviews with the nominating committees for Mitchell, McCain and Kyl this past week and a half and this evening received excellent news!! He has received Mitchell's nominations for both Annapolis and West Point!! While this still doesn't guarantee him acceptance to either of these academies it is a huge step towards this goal he was worked so hard to achieve, and of course I couldn't be more proud. :-)
Congrats Jon, way to rock as usual. ;-)
