You don't get a lot of chances in the academies to be dumb, and something like a drunk in public can ruin your military career at 18 instead of being a dumb mistake for a 18 year old.
Or it’s possible that some 18 yo don’t need to get drunk or make those mistakes. I did. Repeatedly. But that doesn’t mean it’s a required right of passage.
