New USNA Supe vows new ethics focus

A refreshing change from the last administration, where honor and integrity was an afterthought.

Best of luck to Admiral Miller. :thumb:
 
I wonder what he'll do about this:

Naval Academy midshipman accused of underage drinking

A 19-year-old Naval Academy midshipman was cited for underage drinking at downtown Annapolis bar during an enforcement sweep last week, police said Tuesday.

Sara James Markwith, a Washington state resident attending the military college, left her seat at the Acme Bar & Grill when police and other city inspectors entered the bar in the 100 block of Main St., police said. Maj. Scott Baker said officers "had to coax her out of the bathroom." She gave police an incorrect birthdate, and she became argumentative with officers, but later told police she slipped in through a back door when someone else was returning inside.

Officers who patted her down at the police station found two accurate identification cards inside her clothing. She was released to academy officials, Baker said. The bar was cited for selling alcohol to someone underage.

Hmm...

Okay...she gave them an incorrect birth date. I'm "assuming" she gave them a date that would make her "legal" in the bar? :thumbdown:

"A statement made with the intent to deceive..." was a critical portion of the definition of a lie when I was a cadet at USAFA. I'm "assuming" it is the same at USNA?

"Slipped in through a back door when someone else was returning inside..." Would that not meet the requirements for trespass as she's not allowed to be there?

If so...I await the announcement of her facing an honor board. And a conduct board.

This can't be that unusual a situation? I recall one of the BUDs students in Dick Couch's book had been an academy turnback after running from the police and being caught with a fake ID. My godson, A recent USNA grad, had a roommate arrested for drunk driving--not an athlete but he was not kicked out and not turned back. I don't condone underage drinking but having attended Army/Navy games it seems quite prevalent at the SAs, as is the case in society at large.
