I don't know what you mean by "FORCE." The only participants I know of got caught doing x, and were offered a potentially lighter punishment if they informed on others doing the same or worse. They didn't have to accept the deal, and I'm sure many haven't. Others did.
Except Cadet Thomas was not accused of any wrongdoing by the OSI (except maybe <gasp> underage drinking?), if the Gazette piece is accurate.
He was kicked out for misconduct which was actually part of his OSI effort.
Funny how USAFA waived his enlisted service commitment.
