I suspect he will no longer be going to Colorado Springs...maybe, maybe not. Today's politically correct military will probably over-react to this situation. A lot of people have lost sight of the fact that some of the most daring and inovative warriors and leaders in modern military history have been screw-ups in the civilian world..usually due to over-exhuberance. Admiral Nimitz ran a destroyer aground early in his career...and went on to become probably the greatest naval leader of the century. Today he would have been booted out of the Navy.
The only thing the kid has going for him is that the military doesn't think too highly of, or care much about, the FAA so a violation probably wouldn't be an issue. Criminal prosecution is a different story though.
