"The Honor Code
The Honor Code at the Academy belongs to the regiment. It is designed to benefit all midshipmen by creating an atmosphere which improves the quality of life and the educational experience at the Academy.
The Honor Code is so simple that it is contained in one sentence: “A Midshipman will not lie, cheat or steal.” This statement must be completely accepted and supported by every member of the regiment.
All midshipmen quickly learn that the honor code is designed to protect them in their daily living, to give greater value to their academic degrees, and to instill in them the principles of honesty and integrity which are so essential to a full and rewarding life."
why would they perform above and beyond when they are constantly told to not be noticed - not be first and not be last - so they can sorta stay out of additional trouble.
It's a nice honor for those who wanted to/did "shine" during Indoc, but it's not really going to get you anything special.
oh, au contraire. you get a nice shiny ribbon and a cookout. sure wasnt me though
A ribbon that people quickly realize just means one more thing to have lined up properly and in good order on the uniform. Less is more when it comes to a uniform
