Throughout the school year, representatives from each branch of the United States Military visit Clovis North Counseling Center to meet with interested students.  If you would like more information about a career in the military, we encourage you to speak with your counselor, visit the college and career center, or contact a recruiter.

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is a multiple choice test used to determine qualification for enlistment in the United Stated Armed Forces.  As with other tests, how much you have learned in school through the years and your motivation will determine results. The ASVAB is given once a year on the Clovis North campus.  To take the exam, students must be in the 11th or 12th grade and have a permission slip signed by parents and teachers. Any students interested in wanting information to assist in choosing the right career path, should sign up to take the ASVAB test. This test is free. A permission slip can be found on the Clovis North website or pick one up in the counseling center. The test is on January 13, 2023.  If you have any questions, contact Ms. Wood, in the counseling center at 327-5056.   

ROTC stands for Reserve Officer Training Corps.  It is a college program offered at more than 1,000 colleges and universities across the United States that prepares young adults to become officers in the U.S. Military.  In exchange for a paid college education and a guaranteed post-college career, cadets commit to serve in the Military after graduation.  When enrolled in ROTC you learn first-hand what it takes to lead others, motivate groups and how to conduct missions as a military officer.  If interested, meet with a recruiter during your junior year to learn more about the application process.

If you are a student interested in pursuing a college education at a United States Service Academy, you are encouraged to attend the annual Academy Night held at the Clovis Unified District Professional Development Building.  The Academy Night typically takes place in the fall of each year.  Liaisons representing the Air Force Academy, Merchant Marine Academy, Military Academy (West Point), Naval Academy and ROTC will be in attendance to answer questions and review the admissions process.  

Applications are being accepted for students seeking a Congressional Nomination to attend a United States Service Academy.  For graduating seniors, the Academy Nomination Application must be mailed or hand delivered to Congressman Nunes’ Visalia Office by Monday, November 15, 2021.  

 

The Congressman’s annual Academy Night is at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 12, 2021.  This evening is for students (of all grade levels), along with their parents, to meet representatives from the academies, gather information and learn about academy life and the congressional nomination process.

 

Per Clovis Unified facility rules, social distancing and face covering precautions will be observed at the event.
