Lizzy,
I hope she also gets tested for HIV, and remembers to get tested not once, but later too, since it takes time.
So the cadet admits to pushing the line, and now that he apologizes you/she believes nobody else in the unit will become aware of it?
I have 2 boys, and I believe they are respectful to women. They would never do this type of action, so that is moot. However, a guy who has to apologize for his behavior is someone I would never trust when it comes to being quiet within the unit, especially when you say someone should "teach" him a lesson.
That is most likely their MO, unless they also imbibed too much and is a gentleman, which would mean nobody needs to teach him a lesson.
Hate to say it, but this will be gossip among the guys in the unit and at college just like it was in HS. They may be in college, but they are still red blooded teenage boys where they believe respect is earned by scoring with girls. Her name may not be placed out there, but they will figure out who she is in the end.
As you stated she has learned the hard way regarding the realities of life when it comes to precautions females must take.

The girl and boy in this case were the only ones in the room where it happened and that morning he apologized for his behavior.
As for command finding out, I don't think they will. It isn't being reported to authorities and at this time I don't think anyone in ROTC other than the two are aware of this incident. The others who know because the girl has been talking to them, are not in ROTC. Personally I feel that someone should "teach" this boy a lesson.
