Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Six West Point Cadets Overdose.

I remember that,his name was Rapone.

Was he booted because he openly displayed his fealty for Communism?

Some of my family claimed the military knew about him and would allow him to enter the service, if he hadn't revealed his Commie attitude to the civilian population.

If I recall correctly, he wasn't booted until after he was commissioned and on duty somewhere in Alaska, I believe.
As a former cadet myself, it pisses me off to know that those f aggots standing around him didn't punch him in the face for displaying such trash.

same with the AF in the early 80's. from about 82-83 until i got out in 86, we were random tested fairly regularly. i think about every 3 months or so. first time they did that, about 10% of the squadron got popped. lot of guys out mowing lawns and picking up cig butts waiting for their discharge. zero tolerance. had one guy who swore up and down dominos had laced his pizza with weed. in those days dominos had a loaded pizza they called "The Destroyer". after his claim, we called it "The Career Destroyer". lol. they also started cracking down on DWI around that time. you could get away with one but you would lose a stripe. two and you were on the bus home. i knew a lot of guys who went home with a general discharge.

I have 3 grand kids. I was not a user and neither was either of my kids. I think we are doing everything right so our grand kids will not be users. But, I could see one of them getting in with the wrong crowd and slipping. I certainly hope if that ever happens NARCAN is available to them. We will fix the problem afterword's about them using. But, only if they are alive. It bugs the crap out of me so much stuff is coming across the borders and people everywhere want to buy it. It bugs me even more what the Biden administration is doing with illegals and illegal drugs: absolutely nothing.

kwg

I’m not qualified to criticize the Military, never having served, but this recent Air Force story in this city did seem a sign of the times.

A young Enlistee who recently declared herself “bisexual” experiences a “toxic male working environment” overseas and gets suicidal.

I do agree the Senior NCO named was a friggin’ idiot to put himself in that position. Lucky to keep any retirement at all....


Air Force “Sex Offender”

ya that seems crazy. could not imagine sharing a hot tub with my ncoic in the mid 80s'. lol. we had some promiscuous women for sure and it did affect the shop at one place i was stationed.

Good God. I never heard of this guy:

WATERTOWN, N.Y. — The images Spenser Rapone posted on Twitter from his West Point graduation were intentionally shocking: In one, the cadet opens his dress uniform to expose a T-shirt with a blood-red image of socialist icon Che Guevara. In another, he raises his fist and flips his cap to reveal the message: “Communism will win.”

Less than a year after Rapone’s images drew a firestorm of vitriol and even death threats, the second lieutenant who became known as the “commie cadet” is officially out of the U.S. Army with an other-than-honorable discharge.

Top brass at Fort Drum accepted Rapone’s resignation Monday after an earlier reprimand for “conduct unbecoming of an officer.”

Rapone said an investigation found he went online to advocate for a socialist revolution and disparage high-ranking officers. Officially, the Army said in a statement only that it conducted a full investigation and “appropriate action was taken.”

An unrepentant Rapone summed up the fallout in yet another tweet Monday that showed him extending a middle finger at a sign at the entrance to Fort Drum, accompanied by the words, “One final salute.”

“I consider myself a revolutionary socialist,” the 26-year-old Rapone told The Associated Press. “I would encourage all soldiers who have a conscience to lay down their arms and join me and so many others who are willing to stop serving the agents of imperialism and join us in a revolutionary movement.”

when i was in the Army 83-86. E-4 and below if got a DUI or a drug bust on a pee test ,you got drug counsling and an Article-15, second time you was out..E-5 and above pop drug test you out the door ,DUI same as an E-4 ,our First Sargeant got a DUI after ,he kept telling us to not get one ,he got out of it but an Article -15

What a piece of schit.

Don't know about West Point...but I work at a Senior Military College and they test the Contracted cadets pretty regular and that's also the first thing they do at Summer Camp. How often , not sure. I'm thinking it's a random percentage that covers the whole class throughout a Semester. Then everybody gets it at Summer Camp, along with all the Commissioning Cadets their last semester before being sworn in.
