Do pilot trainees get written up for things like that?
No. Not at any US airline that I'm aware of today. Maybe just maybe DL or AA would call you on something like that.
It's not the military, pilots are pretty relaxed when out the public view. But they do want to be confident that you'll behave appropriately when you are in the public, and not supervised. Don't give them any reason to think you would embarrass them.
