SGT (Join to see) What do you think? Should academic or any dishonesty be cause to ruin a military career? Would that dishonesty occur again? In a crucial setting?

Thanks for you input I was wrongly accused of this so I can guess my fate and my chances of rebounding from this. I have never been in this type of situation my 7 years in so I am very concerned.

Yes, No, and Maybe. Was the documentation based on fact? Opinion? Dumb mistake? Did someone accuse you of plagiarism? [Dumb mistake, maybe]. Did you turn in someone's project as your own? [Stupid error; stealing]. Were you "out and out" cheating? [fatal error, good luck in your new career].

Is the alleged infraction actually been counseled and annotated on the 1059? If there was a valid accusation, there should have been some sort of appearance before peers and cadre, program manager, or similar NCO academy leadership with a chance to refute the charges. Most of the times, academic dishonesty results in dismissal from the course and a referred 1059. That's why I am asking about this accusation

1SG (Join to see) I was given a counseling and a letter of referral. I was told that my 1059 with in 24 hours and will be covered by my plt Sgt since I am a MOS-T. I am tracking that I can submit comments on my 1059 which I will since the counseling doesn't reflect what actuly happened. Since it is a non academic drop I can never return to this school which is devastating to me but also I am worried that this will be a career ender.
