She did the right thing by doing an on the spot correction, her choice of words to address the issue are questionable, but she was fully justified in her actions. I doubt that she expected an ARCOM for what she did. I think in this case the "Brass" used the ARCOM to put the spotlight on bad behavior online.
I would hate to be the Joe's who got called out! "Stuff" rolls down hill and that crap HEAT round was fired off by a General officer! By the time it got to the company level it would be like a freight train load of you are screwed dude and in deep.......

Definitely not especially since she basically blasted it out to the top Os in those chains. Like fly swatting with a 12 gauge.

At most a pat on the back... maybe a coin. You don't get medals for "doing what is expected". That is part of how the Air Force evaluation system got so over inflated. Where is my AFCOMM for showing up early the last week to get us caught up on work? Where is my AAM for telling a troop it is inappropriate to address an NCO as "sarge".... by gosh, where is my AFMSM for being such a great influence on Rally Point....

People are still talking about this with no mention of the "stupid" soldiers that she was trying to correct. How about instead of judging this leaders actions we make sure our soldiers understand that they are accountable for their actions 24/7 365?! I'm sure glad everyone knows what they would've done to "correct" the 1SG here in this situation. Yet and still no mention of a plan to correct the soldiers who comments caused the 1SG to do what she did.

I received a NAM at retirement for trimming the hedges at the admin building we inherited from a decommissioned Squadron. So there's that. Not a fan of chest candy.

Maybe it was a Navy COM. I can't remember. It was a bullshit here is your consolation prize for 21 years of service. Her receiving an ARCOM and it making headlines is equal to Michelle Obama hash tagging bring back our girls. Them girls are still gone.
