Too little, too late.

If he claims he’s muslim and wanted to get married, does the ultra-PC AF give him a pass?
muslims can go down to 9 years old, no?
If only Air Force Academy ethics instructors were allowed to marry.
“USAFA is a sick institution...historically been the most “slack” of the academies and that permissiveness has gone haywire...The root cause of all this madness is the 2003 sexual assault scandal at the academy...” [usafa92, post 17]
Your timeline is in error.
The Center for Character & Leadership Development was established in the 1990s.
As a 1970s grad, I no longer recall a specific crisis that triggered its formation. While attending my 20th reunion, I intercepted a few hints, significantly cocked eyebrows, and whispered asides from older cadets (who were your underclassmen). Suspicion was widespread, that the entire project was no more than a concession to the Left-engendered forces that have been so energetic since 1960.
The long march of political correctness began much earlier; the three major federal service academies opposed the admission of women, but were unable to hold back the drift of the times. The 1960s and 1970s - marked by campus radicalism, militant feminism, and widespread dissatisfaction with the military establishment - interfered with attempts by the armed services to fend off radical egalitarianism. Congress ordered the service academies to admit women.
I did notice during my 10th year reunion that USAFA leadership (military and academic) had concluded that no service academy could continue to assume that the average appointee would enter knowing what the terms in the Honor Code meant, so an indoctrination program was launched to inform and each incoming class. Indications of the moral deterioration in the wider society? Possibly.
Anyway, the indoctrination program was accompanied by major reductions in penalties for Code violations. Honor-violation investigations became saddled with attorneys defending the accused, and took on all the histrionics and pose-striking that has rendered the country’s civilian legal system so dysfunctional.
Judging the relative permissiveness of the service academies in relation to each other is problematic. After putting in three years and 11 months as a cadet, followed by 24 years and seven months on active duty, I noticed that stuff changes all the time - “unchanging verities” and “timeless truths” have no meaning and no hold on service adacemy culture.
There are but two constants:
1. Each USAFA class is certain that every class that comes after has had an easier time of it.
2. The media, and the wider civil populace, are shocked and scandalized by each honor scandal and every allegation of sex assault at any service academy. Transgressions get huge play in the news. But the totals - in absolute numbers, and percentages - are almost nonexistent compared to civilian colleges & universities. No one ever stops to think of that.
Agree
Just by his looks alone, I would not go out an a date with this guy.

Assuming you’re not a child, he wouldn’t ask you.
I don’t understand why some men need to describe their genitals or send pics of them.....I’ve seen thousands......they’re not
that fascinating and sometimes, downright gross...
Likely they are hoping for one in return.
Yeah, and you assume all intelligence officers are liberals. When you’re caught slinging bullshit, switch ammo.

As a former grad, I've become a bit ashamed of the place in the past couple of decades. Political correctness has become the bane of a once fine institution just as it has been throughout the culture.
Yeah. If you've seen one, you've seen them all.
Yeah, and you assume all intelligence officers are liberals.

No, I never said that ALL intel officers were liberal. That is yet another false statement by you along with your erroneous and unfounded “no doubt” assumptions about people you know nothing about.
I hope your intel work products exhibited more accuracy than your comments on FR do.
