When to contact Congressmen?

Interesting! Mine asked that none be in envelopes and that we have read the letters to make sure they were what we wanted to submit.
 
From last years MOC instructions you should be able to make a good guess as to who they are going to want LOR from. Use that knowledge to make sure your teacher knows that you are interested in going to a SA. Make sure they know who you are. I would request the LOR 1-2 months before the end of the school year. Give them your resume so the have something to help write the LOR. You want to be in front of the rush they will get in September and October. Same timing with the SA LORs. Start your app before the end of school so your teachers have the summer to write those recommendations
 
We found it of great value to attend at least 2 of the MOC information nights they sponsor at area high schools.

Info nights were great, one of ours had representatives from every service academy! They can also be beneficial to selling your parents on your wanting to go to a SA - my dad came with me and decided he was totally behind it.

I have been to a few last year actually - they were very informative and I made a ton of connections there. I even met my FFR there.
