Five New York cadets — all men in their early 20s and at least one a football player — had been partying at an Airbnb rental north of Fort Lauderdale, neighbors said. All but one have been released from the hospital. “Cocaine was really prevalent among the football team. They would wait until a long weekend to do it because it leaves your system quickly.

S. Military Academy at West Point, the Naval Academy at Annapolis, and the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. This is not happening by accident. And...

And there’s no sleeping allowed.” It’s not so easy to get up at the crack of dawn every day and make your bed to perfection. I don’t think I’ve ever woken up...
