The Cadet Honor Code prohibits lying, cheating, stealing, and which of the following?

• A. Following orders blindly
• B. Lie, cheat, or steal
• C. Tolerating those among ranks who do
• D. Missing formation

Answer: (C)

The central idea here is that the Cadet Honor Code expects integrity to extend beyond your own actions to how you treat others. It isn’t enough to refrain from lying, cheating, or stealing yourself—you also don’t tolerate those who do. That means if you see a fellow cadet lying, cheating, or stealing, you address it constructively and report it when needed. This peer accountability builds trust, discipline, and leadership within the unit, because everyone is held to the same standard.

The other options don’t fit because they don’t capture that peer‑level accountability. Following orders blindly isn’t what this code addresses, and it could conflict with moral judgment rather than uphold integrity. Saying you should lie, cheat, or steal repeats the first part rather than adding a new obligation. Missing formation is a separate discipline issue, not the element that completes the code’s statement about not tolerating dishonorable conduct.
