Thirty-four Air Force officers allegedly cheated or turned a blind eye to cheating on a proficiency exam for intercontinental launch officers at an Air Force base in Montana, and now the scandal has doubled in size, CNN reports.
After further investigation, it appears another three dozen or so officers are also alleged to have cheated.
About 180 officers took the proficiency exam.
The alleged cheating apparently was carried out around last August and September by text and was the largest incident of its kind, the Pentagon has said.
The Air Force acknowledged the number of officers under investigation had grown but refused to offer specifics.
