<p>USAFA believes in giving some people second chances. Six months of honor probation is enough incentive for a lot of people to leave voluntarily. Those who don’t are usually very commited, and vow to never again place themselves in a situation where they would risk their integrity. If a freshman cheats, realizes his or her’s error and admits it, he or she is likely to get probation. </p>
<p>I know a few good cadets who learned a tough lesson through an honor hit, and have become better people for it. I would rather follow some of them into battle, than some “perfect” cadets who can’t lead for beans.</p>
