Washington, DC – Congressman John Joyce, M.D. (PA-13), today announced that Ryan Pudliner of Somerset County has received an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy for the Class of 2027. Ryan currently attends the Pennsylvania State University and is a graduate of Windber Area High School. Ryan is the son of Kevin and Stacie Pudliner.
“Congratulations to Ryan Pudliner on his appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy for the Class of 2027. Through his exemplary preparation, Ryan has demonstrated a dedication to service,” said Congressman Joyce. “The service academy appointment process is highly selective and competitive. I am thrilled that Ryan has received an appointment to the U.S Naval Academy, and I commend him and his family on this great achievement.”
All prospective students wishing to attend a service academy must be nominated by a Member of Congress or another U.S. official. Students are then rigorously evaluated by the service academies, which determine appointments. Candidates in Pennsylvania’s 13th Congressional District are interviewed and selected by a board of former service academy graduates living in our communities.
