In the movie "Annapolis", Plebe Estrada is kicked out of the USNA because he had been ordered by his detailer to take a shower every 3 hours at night, and then he skipped a shower one night and when he asked by the detailer if he had been taking his showers, he said "yes", and never mentioned he had skipped one shower. Then his roommate ratted him out.
I've been reading some stuff on the Internet about how the USNA has a honor concept instead of an honor code. In real life, would something like this be reason to be kicked out of USNA? Lying about something that a detailer asked for? This is sort of a question about how the honor concept and honor court works in practice at USNA.
I'm pretty sure that for schools like VMI and the Citadel that have honor "codes", such a lie would be reason to be drummed out, but I am just wondering what the difference is with an honor "concept".
BTW, Here is an older article about cadets being kicked out of USAFA for lying and stuff:
