<p>Any idea what the typical punishment is for academy/ROTC cadets getting caught in the act of purchasing fake id? I'm trying to reconcile two similar cases that resulted in two very different punishments...</p>
<p>I would venture to say that for an academy cadet/mid it would classify as:</p>
<p>[ul]
[<em>]a crime
[</em>]a gross violation of the honor code/concept
[li]a Class 1 offense in the highest[/li][/ul]</p>
<p>and a recommendation for disenrollment would not be surprising in the least.</p>
<p>Using a fake ID at USAFA would be an honor violation.</p>
<p>I know two ROTC mids got kicked out of the unit for using a fake, which is kind of the same thing</p>
<p>Huh. Makes me feel better that the case that prompted me to ask the question (an ROTC member who got off with nothing more than a talking-to) seems to be an isolated one. I was a little taken aback when a clear honor violation was taken so lightly, when the only other such case I knew about got a cadet thrown out immediately.</p>
