I suppose it gets national coverage as the service academies are national institutions, unlike any others in the country. I cringe every time I see something like this though. The same thing happens with missing cadets, training accidents, etc. But then I know I'm singing to the choir.It’s USNA’s turn to be back in the scandal spotlight. These incidents at a civilian college would not be likely to make the national news cycle
Which begs the question of his community activities prior to the Academy.What makes this different than the difficult one said-the other said, alcohol-infused, muddy, no other witness cases is the accused apparently planned the attacks, chose rooms and times, was equipped to get past a locked door, and knew how to do stuff without waking people. Cold, calculated, perpetration of rape.
Just wondering aloud on where he became so practiced at his entry and criminal methods. From a law enforcement viewpoint.Enlisted Marine via NAPS.
I suspect many mids don’t lock their door at night, just close it.
Ah. That would be interesting. When I was a BattO, doors were not allowed to be locked except when it was a leave period or the summer break when everyone moved out. Then, as theft rose (yes, mid on mid, same ones who wrote the glowing essays) and other incidents occurred, rules were revised.
I hoping a current or recent midshipman can pop up and tell us what the door-locking guidance is now and what kind of lock it is. I suspect many mids don’t lock their door at night, just close it.
@LurkingQuietly when your son says there are bad kids at the academies, did he mean, “like there are everywhere in society”? Or disproportionately more at the academies?
