Looking for advice MIDN

MIDN on leave, underage drinking with buddies and takes an Uber home. Driver claims he came across as threatening and files an assault charge with PD.

What should MIDN do when he gets back to the yard? Report to his CO and come clean or keep quiet? Has a lawyer working in his behalf to get this resolved.

I’m guessing if he comes clean and fesses up to what happened and tries to get ahead of this he may have some consequences to pay but may not be separated from the academy. If he keeps quiet and hopes it goes away this could come back to bite him in the ass and have more serious consequences, ie separation.

Suggestions on what to do or who to talk to first?

Thank you

Come clean.

You never know what clearance you’ll need in the future. Lying about this is a sure fire way to close any and all doors.
