Thanks. I'll be mindful of that.

FWIW, the police knew who he was -- a Midshipman -- the night of the incident, they recognized him because they had recently visited the unit to give a presentation about school gun violence -- one of the police officers told my DS he was really disappointed in him. I think the only reason DS...

Thank you!!

I just wanted to close the loop on this post, in case anyone is reading it new, or following it. My DS had his court appointment this morning, and all charges against him were unconditionally dropped! The police officer ended up deciding not to charge him with any alcohol-related violations in...

He informed his NROTC unit immediately that he was involved in an ARI (alcohol related incident), so they know. They said nothing will happen until after his court date. They know also know about formal the charges not including the ARI, at least up to now. Yes, my DS is wondering if he won't...

Goirish1 thanks, that is good to know. So, interestingly, the charges for my DS finally arrived in the mail from the police department (for some reason they told him they were going to mail the charges to him instead of giving him anything the night of the incident), and the charges do NOT...

BigBillNY thank you so much. I just cut and pasted that and sent it to my DS and told him to ask his attorney about this! His attorney is very experienced with these sorts of things and I think well known.

All this is so very helpful, thanks so much momx3, EDelahanty, and everyone.

2020HD thank you, that is a good idea.

NDROTCDad92, thank you, I hope so too, really hope the judge/prosecuting attorney is willing to give him a second chance and walk the charges back from misdemeanor, and that his unit is reasonable. The thing that my DS is worried about is that although there have been other alcohol related...

Thanks again all, very good points, all of them. Agree it was my DS's decision and there is no excuse, and he knows it too. And I've held his feet to the fire so to speak. Oh on the club soda with a twist option -- I mentioned that to my DS last year I think, and he said that he did that a...

K2rider, thank you, that is very good to hear, I hope you are right. Btw my DS told me that the police were originally called to another house party down the street from my DS's street, where they shut the party down, and then heard the loud music at my DS's house, that is why they decided to...

All, I thought I'd add a little more here about some of the "why" regarding how this happened with my DS, at least in part, given his stellor record as a midshipman, in case anyone is interested. At my DS's university, like many/most universities, there are a lot of parties that go on every...

All, thanks so much, this is extremely helpful.

Okay, thank you.

Hello, I was hoping someone could give me some advice regarding an alcohol-related incident my DS was just involved in. He is a midshipman with a 4-year NROTC scholarship. He just finished his 3rd year -- in the fall he will be a 1st class Midshipman, he is supposed to Commission in one year...
