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.
