Academy authorities were healing the occurrence as a "teachable time," said Lt. Col. David Bryan, an excellent spokesperson. He said he did not know of any programs to self-discipline cadets.

Lengyel did not say how many cadets were engaged but said it was a "relatively few."
The habit is known as "First Shirt/First Snow" and includes freshmen trying to toss cadet first sergeants — known as first tops — into the snow.
"This habit has devolved to become progressively aggressive, with considerable amounts of cadets demanding health care over previous times two decades," Created had written in her e-mail.
"What used to be (freshmen) tossing the first clothing into the snow has changed into a brawl between upperclassmen protecting the first sergeant and the (freshmen) trying to catch the first sergeant."
It wasn't instantly known how many cadets were harmed last season.
"Obviously, this has gotten out of side and cannot be recurring," Created had written.
Born had written that Lengyel ceased brief of prohibiting the habit and said cadets could recommend maintaining it if they discovered a way to prevent assault.
