b) MMI Cadet Performance Counseling/Evaluation Reports, also known as “counseling
forms,” are used for both positive and corrective counseling. This form is normally used
for documenting minor infractions, typically Category I offenses and may be submitted
by TACs or cadet leaders.

c) Delinquency Orders (DO) are normally reserved for the most serious infractions, typically
Category II & III offenses although they can be used to document repeated Category I
offenses. These are issued by the Commandant of Cadets or his designee.

8.4 Disciplinary Options

i. Penalty Hours (PH). PH rosters are published daily and sent to student MMI e-
mail accounts. Cadets who believe a report to be incorrect should speak with
their TAC for verification. Upon verification, the TAC may refer the cadet to the
reporter if an offense is in dispute. Cadets should speak (adjudicate) with the
“reporter” (TAC or senior staff member who assigned the PH) as listed on the
roster no later than (NLT) 24 hours after the offense was reported. Each
Thursday the list will reflect which cadets are restricted to campus for the
upcoming weekend. Cadets receiving PHs on a Friday will be held accountable
beginning on Monday of the following week.

i. Restriction. Cadets are restricted to campus until PHs are served
(marched or worked off). Mandatory PH marching will be conducted on
Wednesday from 1500-1800, Friday from 1500-1800, and Saturday from
0800-1800. Unless engaged in other school functions (e.g., varsity
athletics) or excused by the Commandant of Cadets (e.g., military drill),
cadets are to report at 1500 on Wednesday, 1500 on Friday, and 0800 on
Saturday and continue to do so until all hours are served. Cadets can
choose whether to serve Study Hall hours or to march PHs when they have
earned both. Cadets who do not satisfy PH and SH requirements risk
being dismissed. Additionally, graduating cadets will not be allowed to
participate in the graduation ceremony if they have outstanding PHs.

ii. Participation in Varsity Athletics or Organizations. Participation in
athletics and cadet organizations (such a White Knights, Honor Guard,
Ranger Challenge, etc.) may be prohibited until PHs are marched at the
discretion of the Commandant of Cadets. This also includes participation
in athletic practices, games, special events, etc.

iii. Getting Credit for PHs. Cadets must clock-in and clock-out in the
Commandant of Cadets’ Office using the Penalty Hour Sign-in/Sign-out
form and must have a member of the commandant’s staff initial/verify
their start and stop times.
