Anyways, sorry to ehar your gettin butt fukked outta the deal. Start looking for another roommate.

Officers very rarely get busted down in rank - regardless of the offense.
Usually, a letter of reprimand, loss of pay, and a very poor evaluation report is enough to end a career, or at least it's enough to get an officer passed over for promotion.
I don't necessarily approve of the command reversing their policy just because a pilot was the one who was caught. But I'd rather be enlisted and get busted down in rank, than be an officer with a letter of reprimand and a bad eval. Why? Because as enlisted, you can very easily get back on track, make rank, and make a good career, even with the mess-up. As an officer, one screw up, even though you didn't get "busted down", usually means you aren't going any further up the food chain - which would suck if you're not an 0-4 and dont' have tenure.
Anyway, both sides have their pros and cons.
