In my humble opinion, 90% of these incidents would be eliminated if there was a total ban on alcohol use by cadets. Make it a condition of appointment. Over 21/under 21, on base/off base, - doesn't matter. If they want to get serious about stopping it then do something that will be...

Not just drugs, but there have been Mids convicted of murder, rape, child-sex crimes, burglary, auto theft, and even smuggling 150 lbs of marijuana across the Tijuana border. Drugs are not unique to USNA. Every military academy has had a drug scandal. West Point had an oxycodone/cocaine bust...

Some helicopters flew out of harms way. Others flew into it. Incredible video here:
