WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) announced that he has nominated Wheatland High School students Christian Moody and Haiden Moody for appointments to U.S. service academies. They are both nominated to the U.S. Military Academy and U.S. Air Force Academy.
“Wyoming has a proud history of nominating some of our best and brightest students to attend our nation’s military academies,” said Barrasso. “Christian and Haiden are hardworking, highly motivated, and have shown they possess the characteristics necessary to succeed. It’s an honor to nominate them, and I am confident that if they are offered appointments, they will represent

Wyoming well.”  
Senator Barrasso annually nominates the most qualified Wyoming students to compete for acceptance to the U.S. Air Force, Coast Guard, Merchant Marine, Military and Naval academies. A congressional nomination is just the first step in the competitive process that can lead to an appointment.
Young men and women interested in U.S. service academies apply to members of Congress for nominations. Those nominated are screened by academy officials, and students with the best scholastic and personal credentials are selected
for admission.
