Punishment
Any cadet that is caught violating a rule will receive punishment. There are many ways to get a "character report" and the severity of the character report reflects what your punishment will be. For minor things such as not being prepared, or not being on time, it can result in counseling with your TAC Officer, and he will help you if he thinks that their is a problem that you need to fix together, he will help you with it. If it is something more severe such as fighting or possession of tobacco products, it will result in PT from your TAC Officer or another staff member from the military department, if it is something that is reoccurring with a cadet, or a very severe case of fighting or possession of tobacco products, you can receive ISS (In-School-Suspension), where you sit in the military office and receive 0's on all of the work that you miss, or OSS (Out of-School-Suspension), where your parents have to come pick you up and take you home and you receive 0's on all work missed, and upon the General's discretion, you may be dismissed from the Academy.

Famous quotes containing the word punishment:
“The Laws of Nature are just, but terrible. There is no weak mercy in them. Cause and consequence are inseparable and inevitable. The elements have no forbearance. The fire burns, the water drowns, the air consumes, the earth buries. And perhaps it would be well for our race if the punishment of crimes against the Laws of Man were as inevitable as the punishment of crimes against the Laws of Nature—were Man as unerring in his judgments as Nature.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
“What children learn from punishment is that might makes right. When they are old and strong enough, they will try to get their own back; thus many children punish their parents by acting in ways distressing to them.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
“All pain is a punishment, and every punishment is inflicted for love as much as for justice.”
—Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)
