<p>From the person who is actually in charge of directing this investigation, I can tell you that we have found that there was a mild scandal that took place during this pro-quiz. Gouge was passed in one particular battalion between the plebes, and there is evidence to suggest that the same gouge was passed from members of the battalion mentioned to other companies throughout the Brigade. There are isolated circumstances as to how the plebes acquired the gouge in the first place. All four classes are involved here as information was passed from MIDN 1/c, through training staffs, through youngsters, onto plebes. </p>
<p>The matter is still being investigated, and that is the most specific description I can give.</p>
