Working At One Our Nations Finest Military Institutions, I Find Myself Appalled At The Level Of Maturity That "Students" Attending Such A Prestigious School, Case In Point Seeing "Students" Barely Able To Walk Back Through The Gate Without Being Carried Or Yes Even Being Behind The Wheel Of A Vehicle In An Inhebtiated State Makes Me Wonder How When The Day Comes They Will Have The Maturity To "Lead" Enlisted Troops. I Wonder How Many Of Them When The Time Comes Are Going To Drop The Hammer On The First Young Soilder For Making The Same Mistakes They Did?

No, let them make the college mistakes while on campus, not in front of their Platoon.

It would not do any good. If they come back from a weekend pass drunk, how would a dry campus help? Forbidding alcohol wouldn't change anything. If a cadet/midshipman does not display the maturity to be a leader because of alcohol abuse or any other reason, then they should not be commissioned.

My point of view, on this regard, is very clear.If a USMA Cadet,or any other from the services academies, arrives to the academy gate under alcohol influence,it should be, at least, declared on probation status.If it is for the second time,immediate expulsion from the academy,and sended to the Active Army as an enlisted, for at least two years.

We are educating the future leaders of our military services, so why treat them like children? They will have to deal with social and adult issues sometime and drinking is one of them. If we can't trust them around alcohol then how will we trust them to lead the next generation of military troops? It's part of adult maturation... Do we want them to do it in school, or wait until they are in a unit somewhere and then have to "learn" to deal with social or private issues like drinking while being in leader situations in front of their peers, higher-ups and subordinates? I'm guessing not.
Then there is this angle; are we tempting them to cheat? Teaching them to circumvent the rules? They WILL do adult things, right, wrong or illegal. By banning, forbidding something they will do anyway, aren't we setting them up for failure? They will need the decision making process and the sooner they can go through that the better off they will be. I would prefer they will be ready to assume a leadership roles when they arrive.
Like we need more LTs that have problems making decisions! LMAO Sorry, couldn't be helped! LOL

We have been dealing with the argument of treating adults like children in the services for years. Your key point of learning how to deal with issues is key. We have to ensure that there is a lesson to learn though by not dispensing with consequences of actions. We already have rules for DUIs, underage drinking and excessive drinking. As long as the service schools enforce rules and standards, they are doing the right thing.
