Parents/Students: there are many cases over the last 100+ years involving alcohol and military school students. Some tragic, most end with discipline, maybe extra duty, kind of a 'time out' if you aren't following me.
Cases involving drug use, possession or sale end way worse. Almost always separation from school, and a black mark on your reputation for the next 65 years, give or take. Former classmates reading an obituary will remember how what's-his-name got kicked out for drugs decades ago. And with Facebook, Instagram and other social media tools...........that stuff will follow you even in the civilian world.
Recommendation: if drugs and poor choices ar probable for you, please stay away from military/service schools........and give more deserving students a chance.
My son graduated from US Merchant Marine Academy, and I was a lowly ARMY aviator.
