Cadet wanted to bring porn star to the ball

[LurkingQuietly]

I hate to be critical of this cadet, but this plan sucked from the beginning. First, Diamond Foxx is a relatively unknown 47 y/o adult film star actress/Stripper. The stunt lacked any semblance of creativity and originality, because she/he could of showed up with any hot middle aged woman, no one knows her. She/He chooses a target that's geographically undesirable. West Point is a hour from NYC, you think there may be a Porn Star there??? Renting a limo for the night is much cheaper than roundtrip airline and hotel. Then she/he does the internet version of standing on the street corner with a tin cup (Double Face Palm). This is where he/she completely goes off the rails, your inside joke goes public and embarrasses the command. This cadet is a "Marty McFly". This is what happens when you choose cadet's from standardized tests....you get standardized commanders. Watch, learn, and repeat....no creativity.

What should she/he have done? I would have asked Alexandria Ocasia-Cortez.

Diamond Foxxx was a better choice than AOC in that she would have been capable of conversation outside the realm of Mixology and coloring books.

A West Point cadet tried to crowdfund money to bring a porn star to the academy's winter banquet

A cadet at West Point attempted to crowdfund money to cover travel fare and hotel fees so that his favorite adult film star could be his date to the service academy's annual winter banquet

My friends did this at prom last year. Instant legends.

Not even sure how they got in contact with the actress (a different one than in this story) but it happened. EVERYONE knew who she was.

The teachers/chaperones couldn't say anything, cause it would be revealed that they KNOW who the actress was... if yk what I mean.

There is a short leash on this thread, folks.

The thread is relevant in terms of how the Academy addressed this cadet's decisions and media posts. However, if it veers into politics, the moderators will take action.

While you are free to discuss and debate policy, tactics, and trends, posts which criticize the United States in general or the Armed Forces in particular may lead to a ban if the only reason for posting them is to insult or belittle.​

Well, if a female cadet had shown up with a 47 year old date who works in the adult film industry (I won't use the term porn star because I don't think taking your clothes off for money makes you a star), the response would be entirely different - and not in a good way.

I disagree. If anything she would be given more leeway.

I know at least one of my classmates who brought a pornstar to ringdance. As far as I know, it never got any attention from the administration. I doubt any officers actually knew about it. Some things never change. I'm sure back in the day, some mid or cadet tried to get Marilyn Monroe to go to ringdance with him.

I am sure everyone would applaud the effort for Marilyn Monroe. Slightly different category than a porn star.

Legendary! This guy identified his problem, found a solution, and put his plan in action.. Hopefully the brass has a sense of humor, this cadet came THIS close to being every other cadet's hero..

You've got to chuckle at this, he wasn't hurting anyone. She obviously said yes for the publicity.

Not the first time and not the last time ...

 

[conrack]

somehow I don't think this is going to be very career enhancing and I am sure he is having a few Come To Jesus meetings with his superiors

Summary:
Comments from those who have been mids/cadets: this is a non-news story that happens on a semi-regular basis.

Many Others: the world is burning, that cadet is going to get in a lot of trouble/be a terrible officer

How old are you?

My question is meant as a compliment.

18 years old, sir.

I like to think of myself as more of a “discussion” guy and not an “argument” guy. ESPECIALLY when it comes to politics.

Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, just know the right place i.e. not here.

You’re one of my favorite posters.

If he had pulled it off he would have been a legend.

I'm pretty sure this guy has already reached legend status within the corps just for the attempt. This is what he will be known for at class reunions.
And to note, Ms. Foxx is a married 47 year old woman.

That means a lot coming from you @Devil Doc , sir. I appreciate it
