<li> It happens.</li>
<li> It’s sad when it happens at a place like a military academy where the kids REALLY want to be there…work hard to get their…are under enormous stress/pressures…AND still to some extent are immature/inexperience/fearless/believing in their own immunity from things like this. Hence they have to be brow beated all the time about NOT TAKING any risks. They have to assert a lot more resistence to various tempations which in today’s society is that that big a deal and yet it is.</li>
<li> Most make it. Some don’t. I can only caution that your kids NOT do something stupid and to keep ALERT. This IS a whole different ball field they are now on…totally different. As they advance at the AFA…they will be held to stricter and stricter rules. All it took was one misrepresentation (debatable even to this date) and a cadet was denied graduation a week before and denied a commission. There are too many instances of these stupid things happening. Kids going off to parties and drinking like they are in a normal college (even there it shouldn’t happen)…and voila…you have a sex scandal at the AFA. Every time I read/hear about one of these things…I am upset at how MUCH the kid gave up.</li>
