Phnom Penh (FN), Aug. 14 - The Office of Defense Cooperation at the U.S. Embassy in Cambodia invited young Cambodians to compete for appointment to the United States Service Academies (U.S. Military Academy at West Point, U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, and U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London) for the Class of 2023 for those students entering the academy July 2019.

According to the U.S Embassy in Cambodia website, students will graduate with a Bachelor’s of Science degree based on a stressful, demanding curriculum that will challenge students intellectually, militarily, and physically in an environment that promotes the development of character.

"Foreign students get the same training, pay, and allowances as U.S. citizens, and are subject to the same rules and regulations. However, they will not serve in the US military or take an oath of allegiance to the United States. Appointees from Cambodia will sign a contract with the Ministry of National Defense to return and serve as officers in the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces for a specified period of time," the website says.
