iv. Uniform for PHs. Uniform is prescribed by the Commandant of Cadets.
CDOs will inspect restricted cadets 15 minutes prior to the PH formation
ensuring all cadets are in proper uniform.

v. Conduct of PH tours. Cadets will form up five minutes before the time
designated, adjacent to the Guard House. Accountability will be taken and
an inspection will be conducted. Cadets will then be marched to the
penalty area. PH marching will commence at the top of the hour. Breaks
will be taken between the top of the hour and ten minutes after. All breaks
will be taken at the Guard House. PHs must be marched in full-hour
increments. No credit will be given for periods lasting less than a full
hour except in the case of extenuating circumstances.

vi. No Credit for PHs. No cell phones or any electronic devices are
authorized during Penalty Hours, use will result in an additional penalty
hour being awarded. Additionally, Commandant’s staff may not verify
PHs tours marched if the marchers are not acting in a disciplined and
orderly fashion or are demonstrating poor conduct.

b) Alternative Penalty Hours. Alternative forms of Penalty Hours (i.e.,
physical/manual labor) will only be awarded for work approved by a TAC Officer
and the Commandant of Cadets.

c) Study Hall (SH). SH rosters are published daily and sent to student MMI e-mail
accounts. Cadets who believe a report to be incorrect should speak with the
Executive Assistant to the Commandant for verification. Upon verification, the
cadet may be referred to the reporter (instructor) if an offense is in dispute.
Cadets should speak (adjudicate) with the “reporter” (i.e., instructor who assigned
the SH) as listed on the roster no later than 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 SH on a Friday will be held
accountable beginning on Monday of the following week. Cadets are restricted to
campus until SH is completed. Mandatory SH will be conducted on Friday from
1500-18:00 and Saturday from 0800-1700 unless engaged in other school
functions (e.g., varsity athletics) or excused by the Commandant of Cadets (e.g.,
military drill).

i. Cadets can choose whether to serve SH or to march PHs when they have
earned both. Cadets who do not complete these immediately risk being
suspended. Participation in varsity athletics or organizations (such a White
Knights, Honor Guard, Ranger Challenge, etc.) may be prohibited until SH
hours are served at the discretion of the Commandant of Cadets.

ii. This also includes participation in athletic practices, games, special events,
etc. Cadets must be logged in and out by the SH attendant to verify their
hours served. Uniform for SH will be prescribed by the Commandant of
