If the school/Trigon knew about this and the perps are still in school then there is more to the story. Never take a newspaper article at face value.
When I was there (2011-2015) we had a merit system, cadet review board, etc. Not exactly sure how the cadet review board worked (never had to stand before one), but did have a few buddies kicked out of the corps for various reasons.TheGreatEscape said:

Also, I'm not sure that the breaking down part of the military tradition is the best thing to implement at the university leve.
Educate me, please? Does the Corps have a merit system like West Point?
Is there a three strike rule and we kick you out rule?
What other ways does the Corps of Cadets implement discipline in order to conform to combat order and mentality for future service?

Yup. I was shocked when I was in that there were still all male outfits. Shocked that there are still some around today.CharlieBrown17 said:
Hope it wasn't K-2. Always had a lot of good friends in K-2 and wouldn't hate to see them to get integrated.
I agree. Have a buddy and a cousin that we're both in C-2. Really good dudesCharlieBrown17 said:
K-2 and C-2 were really solid outfits during my time. I don't see a reason there can't be all males, but it hurts the cause when stuff like this (allegedly) happens
Just to be clear there is nothing that was done in this incident that remotely reflects anything of military tradition. It's not taught to the cadets that way.TheGreatEscape said:

Unfortunately, yes our military academies have had trouble with hazing unfortunately sometimes even resulting in the deaths of cadets/midshipmen.Quote:
My next question is whether or not hazing is what cadets do at our country's military academies?
Theres "hazing" and then there's HAZING.TheGreatEscape said:

Having rubbed shoulders with quite a few Naval Academy guys… the academies clearly underperform when you consider their applicant base.CharlieBrown17 said:
The academies get less leadership training than the Corps.
There's NCOs and Officers running the show there and the cadets are just part of the game, because of this they are also way more limited on what they're allowed to do training wise than the Corps.
The academies have their benefits, but there's no reason to ask what they're doing compared to the Corps. They're different beasts and both provide a quality product in different ways.
OCS is where the superior officers are made. We do in 3 months what it takes cadets 4 years. Leadership training? Pfft! Underwear folding is what truly matters.Get Off My Lawn said:Having rubbed shoulders with quite a few Naval Academy guys… the academies clearly underperform when you consider their applicant base.CharlieBrown17 said:

The few academy rockstars I crossed paths with were going to be rockstars regardless where they went, while the average grad just hadn't been given nearly as much room to develop (I.e. make mistakes) despite being heavily resourced and poured into.
I don't know the answer to this, but two points that I am not sure if is lost to the two Ags that told you this.sharpdressedman said:
How the incident was initially reported to A&M authorities was a point of serious disagreement among two Ags in the conversation. One claimed that a single cadet, not the aggrieved person, reported the incident, and another said it was made public inadvertently through boastful comments made by the perpetrators to persons outside the outfit and the corps.
