Thank you all for the help and advice!

I will tell her to talk with her AOC (not sure what that is but I will pass it on)
Yes I already told her that, I told her it's time to show them why she was appointed and kick some butt now, she needs to show them that she is not dishonest or deceitful and is there for the right reasons.Anyone reading this open forum can read your post - which is fairly detailed - and allows anyone at USAFA who digs just a little
to figure out who it is.
Your advice to her should be; "You obviously have learned something from all this. I'm sorry it happened and it certainly doesn't seem fair, but now is the time to embrace the suck and move on."
I agree, thank you, I wanted to delete it completely but not sure how...I am exceedingly glad you (or a MOD) edited that post.
One thing you do not want to do, is make it harder on your Doolie to be a Doolie.
This goes for any sort of personal social media postings.
They have enough stress just being at the Academy, so we (parents) shouldn't be adding to it.
LOL Ok thank you! I appreciate you helping me and reigning me in, I didn't want to put a lot out there because we don't want to cause problems, I was really just curious if she had any way to try and fix some of it, but it is what it is and she will have to move on as a learning experience and cross t's dot i's and it will all work out in the end. I will just leave this post since I have no info on the original post now anyhow. thank you so much for the advice!After you get to 5 posts, you can avail yourself of the PM feature and set up (a somewhat private) conversation with one or more of the members here, to ask questions of a more specific nature. There are a lot of members who know a LOT about more than one SA, and can be a valuable resource for you as you negotiate this roller-coaster ride as a parent. I'm not one of them. I know a little about USNA, and that's about it.
I have visited that particular country club in Colorado Springs and stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.
"So I got that goin' for me, which is nice!"

Thank you, I wasn't going to get involved, we are new to all this so I was asking mainly to know how it works, what punishments/demerits are normal, mainly just so we can feel better without having to discuss it with her more as she already feels bad enough, we weren't sure how many demerits they can have before being unenrolled etc., so mainly just asking for our peace of mind. luckily she is feeling much better and is fine with taking her punishment and making it in to a positive thing.This is a case of severe parental worry. Normal. I'd say to be a sounding board for your kid, but resist the urge to get involved. You don't want to be "that guy".
I'm betting there is more to the story that we, and even you... don't know. We can't fix everything. In fact, the best growth and maturity comes from going through turmoil and persevering.
