HELP MNCS CHANGE OUR U.S. MILITARY TIER RANKING

Hello, my name is Trevor Stark, I'm a senior at Minnesota New Country School. My senior project was about the Navy, including the history, purpose, and joining. Unfortunately I've encountered numerous obstacles enlisting into the ranks of the Navy.

 

The difficulty that arose was that the military is not accepting students that attend tier 2 schools. For enlistment purposes, the Military breaks down education into three categories: Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3. Tier 1 is classified as a teacher-led school environment and Tier 2 is classified as an alternative school setting.

 

As an appeal on behalf of my school, I am asking for your help in changing the Tier 2 status of out school. If you would like to help open the way for future military applicants, it would be a great honor to have your assistance in sending out this letter. I have created a contact list of all of Minnesota's representatives and senators. My hope is to have this letter sent out as many times and to as my representatives and senators as possible.

 

If you have sent out this letter or one that concerns this topic please email me at:

 

trevors@newcountryschool.com

 

Or if you have any other questions concerning this topic.
