Around 0030 during general leave Cadet A received a phone call from her boyfriend. He said that he needed to speak with her right away in private and that he was outside the Barracks. Cadet A decided to bring him into her room. As they were talking Cadet A learned that her boyfriend’s parents had just died a few hours ago. Cadet A began consoling him as someone knocked on the door and asked “All clear?” Cadet A hurried to the door and met the cadet, who was the division inspector, doing All-ins. The Division Inspector stated he had heard two voices, and asked the Cadet A if there was anyone else in the room. Cadet A responded that she was the only one in the room and shut the door. Cadet A then continued to console her boyfriend and then let him head home when she thought he was capable. Cadet A then went to confront the division inspector, told him what happened and that she didn’t want to tell him someone was in the room because of her boyfriend’s situation. Did Cadet A commit an Honor Violation?
