CASPER, Wyo. — In one of his final acts representing Wyoming as a United States Senator, Sen. Mike Enzi has nominated 19 Wyoming residents to attend U.S. service academies in 2021.
That includes two students from the Casper area. Enzi nominated Gage Baker of Casper to attend the Military Academy at West Point. Evansville’s Adam Carey received a nomination to attend the Air Force Academy or the Naval Academy.
Enzi’s office says that the nominees were chosen with the aid of an academy selection committee put together by the senator. Receiving a nomination is the first step for students seeking an appointment to a service academy.
“As one of my final acts as a U.S. Senator, it is an honor to nominate these impressive Wyoming students who are driven by integrity and character,” Enzi said. “Young people from Wyoming demonstrate their patriotism and willingness to serve their country by applying to our service academies every year. In addition to a quality education, the service academies will open doors and provide a unique set of skills that graduates will carry with them throughout their lives.”
