Interesting thread. I read some things in a candidate information packet in regards to the honor code. I do remember one kid at SLS who lied to a senior cadet about his knowledge using an M16 rifle. The cadet gave the candidate the rifle, and the candidate had no clue what to do with it, or eject the magazine out. It was amusing to watch this because the cadet approached the candidate and clarified the situation.
He said "Candidate, I thought you told me you knew how to use the M16 rifle"
You could tell the candidate was clueless.. his response was "I meant air soft"
Anyways, it was quite something to see it happen in action.
At west point, I heard you are also allowed to resign before you are expelled, so if you feel as though you are in trouble, at least they give you the honor to remove yourself vs. having them remove you.
