United States Service Academies---a message from Senator Reed

Senator Jack Reed asked us to communicate that the deadline for prospective candidates requesting a  nomination through his office is Thursday, October 31, 2013.    If you have questions or require additional information, please contact Steven Usler, Service Academy Coordinator to Senator Reed, at 401-943-3100 or Steven_Usler@reed.senate.gov.

This summer, I called Steven Usler because I had questions about the process.    Mr. Usler provided me with a thorough explanation of service academy applications, nominations and appointments.   It was an absolute pleasure to speak with him and he taught me a great deal.   I am confident that you will have the same experience.   He is a fabulous resource.
