An investigation began June 29 after Coast Guard Academy command staff received reports of alleged drug use by cadets. Academy officials said all nine of the third class cadets were found to have used or possessed cocaine or marijuana. Officials said the drug use occurred while on leave and in one instance on academy grounds during the 2008-2009 school year. Officials did not release the names of the cadets, citing a federal privacy law.
