I thought that the students would be monitored more strictly
Thanks Bandit, I was actually referring to on campus and not to facilities off campus. So, the monitoring would come from who ever is responsible for the kids while they are on campus. No, I didnt' realize that Haps bar was next to Arnold Hall....thanks for that information.
ScoutPilot, I am not referring to "Firsties". I am referring to incoming students (freshman or softmores in terms of other universitys) who are underage. I wouldn't expect anybody to "monitor or babysit" an adult who is at the legal age to drink. My expectations would be that if students are doing things they are not suppose to be doing (drinking or other), that they would be disciplined. I am really only wanting to know about the Air Force Academy and not so much about the Navy. I don't know if they are different.
As far as drinking age. I believe all cadets under 21 are not allowed to drink, regardless of where they are, even when in a country where the drinking age is under 21. But that might be if they are in another country sponsored by usafa, not really sure. Just remember my cadet saying something to that effect.
My Firstie son just returned from Qatar, and the cadets who were under 21 were not allowed to drink. My son and 2 other cadets turned 21 while over there, and then were allowed to have few beers. The "3-a-day" rule was strictly enforced, also.
Even the one time when they travelled off base into the city, they were escorted by regular airmen who enforced the 21 drinking age.

Qatar the legal drinking age is 21 so that makes sense
