Sir,
On September 2nd, Captain Samuels, you, and Battalion Staff had a meeting regarding Honor Company points. Many things were discussed, including rules regarding the five point loss for neglecting to salute, cell phones for the honor company on Friday, unless we have Saturday classes (we had a follow up conversation about this just a few weeks ago, when discussing the possibility of phone issue on Fridays) the philosophy behind the penalties for in school suspension, out of school suspension, and expulsion, founders day, no homework study hall, character reports, and their respective formulas.

For this reason, it is reasonable to use it as an incentive for Honor Company as well. If the academic department considers it a reasonable incentive, I believe it is reasonable for Honor Company as well.
The Dean says it's up to us. I have had several meeting with Dean Sullivan regarding the uniform for study hall, and in those meeting, the Dean has expressed that the we in the military department (or, presumably, those too with military duties) may determine the uniform for study
