ARCOM for calling out inappropriate use in Social Media. Appropriate or not?

You have soldiers who deploy who don't get ARCOMS!

Maybe I've been out too long and maybe am...ah hell I'm going to say it. Of all the 1st Sgts I know, I know they have a hell of a lot on their plate. If she has nothing more better to do than to spy on her soldiers on social media then I personally believe she needs more work to do or to get a life. I'm well aware as a federal employee what conduct I am to uphold. I have coworkers and even my boss as facebook friends but I also know not to post anything I'm going to regret. I also have them restricted to only certain posts on FB. It seems to me that they are expecting Senior NCOs to be babysitters and that frankly isn't your job. Wow, just Wow. she got an ARCOM for this? I'm doing a facepalm.

nope...Nope....NOPE! Yeah, I'm done. Lets just start passing out awards like candy.

It's time to retire!

SFC (Join to see). So . . . do we give the entire Kunsan AFB Legal Team a medal for herosim now?
Warmest Regards, Sandy

I'll just say that I answered No.

What a joke. Grunts have to go through Hell and feel lucky to come out unscathed to get that kind of medal.

That was definitely not ARCOM worthy. Personally, I feel that she should have that ARCOM rescinded after she trolled the writer of the blog and called him an "asshat".
(sarcasm)That's very professional of you, Top!(/sarcasm)

So a 1SG steps in on a social media website, pulls rank and stops some Soldiers from doing wrong, which is the same thing a civilian or pvt could do as well, and because she did that, she received an ARCOM.

If that's that considered a standard to receive an ARCOM, I'd love to see the bullets used and citation. That way my Soldiers can see why their actual army achievements that are downgraded to AAM's/COA's in comparison to this joke.

She was right to call them out! Soldiers are Soldiers 24 hours a day! Act like one and do what's right in any public forrum. A public chat room is a public forum. If you want to act like a jackass in a chat room...join a private room!

As for the ARCOM, Hell NO! But I am not surprised! I have seen Soldiers receive an AAM for having with the Colonel said during a Command Inspection was, "the best room in the barracks!" Not only should the commands be embarrassed for recommending either one. However once it was decided to be awarded to her, she had no say!

I do give her a thumbs up for taking the action she took, as it did reflect an active duty Soldier acting inappropriately, infact, several soldiers from 3 different commands. SHARP is a probem in the Army (not just the Army) and zero tolerence is the only way to combat it. Some may disagree, but thats their choice!

OBTW...LTG Bromberg was my Battalion Commander during my last assignment as 1SG before coming out on the SGM Promotion list. A damn fine Battalion Commander, one of the best! I am not surprised at all that he followed up and took action as Dep. Chief of Staff for Personnel!
