Yes the Fit In part was the biggest mistake I did.. I didnt want to ruin his career and stayed quite and got punished and my dreams crushed for it, the sad part is I dont think he gives a damn about what has happened. True saying Better to have one good friend than 100s of these friends.

wow....I am saddened as a Mom.  Obviously you have learned from your mistake, but you should be able to seek out proper guidance.  I will wish you the best and get a message off to my own Sailor to be aware of surroundings the the importance of it.  I guess the difference is, you said you knew it was happening, but stayed quiet to "fit" in.  Which is also disturbing.  EVERYONE there fits in, you all passed your tests and earned your rates

I spoke to the career counselor who said to take it positively and make the best out of it..apart from that no guidance from anyone

More for my own info, but is there not any career counselor's or advisor's available to speak to?  I would hope there is some sort of a designated kinda guidance counselor thing who can advise and guide you rohitsakp?

MyKidIsInNavy...Its sad but true, association can get us in trouble too, every new sailor that i meet at my barracks I advice them not to do anything which they think is wrong and report or just not be part of something like this. Only I know how much shame I feel for myself, from being hey U need to be like this sailor top in everything to be Hey u shouldnt be like him...even though all say i dust myself off and move on the Navy has taken everything from me but I am not bitter about the navy just feel disappointed that I had to pay dearly for something which I didnt at all benefit from..I dont understand how someone with Electronic engineering degree and software engineer can be an asset to the navy by doing Undes job all day.

Thank you Anti M..I was just trying ask here because i thought there might be someone from here who has been or has someone in this situation or atleast get some advice from people who were in the navy previously.

Concerndad..I have send you a friend request.

My thoughts exactly MyKidsInNavy!  I forwarded the post by the FC to my sailor.  He is finishing FC A school in a few weeks and is top in his class too. I'm sure the Navy has told all of them plenty of times what to expect and how to react, but again fore-warned is fore-armed. It is a wake up call to see how drastically one brief moment can change a promising career. My heart breaks for her. There is no time to decide what to do when it happens. One has to have already made a decision and be ready with auto-reflex to do the right thing without hesitation in every situation. it is a career choice. In bigger decisions to come, these sailors must already know how they are going to react instantly..no second thoughts even when the realization of the consequences of firing that missile is facing them. This is what they are trained to do,..and preparation for instant reaction is to be ingrained. It is a critical.

This is just a sad situation.  It makes me worry for all our loved ones in classes that they need to be aware of what other's are doing around them as far as looking over their shoulder's....uuuggghhh

rohitsakp.....My son actually went through a very similar situation to what you are going through. He's an ET, and while at ATT school (in the top of his class) had something like you described happen. If you'd like to discuss it privately, you can send me a friend request. 

FWIW, I believe you can request free legal service.

rohitskap... I was an ET, and I don't have answers for you.  It sucks, but there's not much to be done now.  I think you could strike for ET, after a year, but I am not certain.  I don't think many of the moms here can help you out. Angie might, she used to be an NC at Great Lakes.  I'll make sure she sees your post.

Have you tried asking on reddit r/navy?

Hello Everyone,
I am in the Navy for the past 6 months and was an FC and studying at ATT school, I was at the end of week 7(top of my class with 98+ gpa). So a shipmate was looking on my screen during the test I saw him, I didnt report it but someone else did and we were all dropped from the class. One was the cheater, Me and one more sailor(the cheater also looked on his screen) and 4 more sailors who saw him looking. The 3 of us went to ARB where after finding all the facts the Chief recommended that me and the other sailor stay as FC and be sent back in training, while the cheater be dropped from school, then all 7 had DRB and then again the 3 of us had OIC mast and we 3 got 14-14 1 week pay cut, After the mast a Senior Chief and then the OIC took me on the side and explained to me why I got the punishment and after hearing my reason to not report also gave me advices and also told me they too have recommended that I be sent back to school. We come back from restriction and now I came to know that now we are dropped from school and might be going undesginated..To be honest I know what I did was wrong, I am all shattered and broken after hearing I am being dropped. I have a degree in electronics engineering and worked as a Software engineer before joining the Navy and FC or ET would have be a great choice for me..but now I dont know what I can do.. what are my choices if any..I am confused on why would they punish me two times and I dont understand on how I will be an asset to the Navy . I am an E3 so can anyone tell me how does the whole striking thing work if I go undes? I wanna strike for something which is highly technical(ET,CTs etc) what is the realistic time that I might strike? Different people say diff things to me like it will be depended on the command if they want me to give the exam or not. I will appreciate any type of guidance. Please do not think that I am not regretful, I know I should have stopped him from cheating but I had my reason that time but now I know my integrity was more important than me thinking that I will be alienated more than I already was.Thank you
