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

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.

No. Maybe a pat on the back? But an ARCOM? What has happened to the Army?

I think awarding an ARCOM for this is a little over-the-top. I would probably have recognized her with a Letter of Commendation or something, but not a military decoration.

I applaud the fact that she took action to correct and report something she saw as detrimental to good order and discipline, but, honestly, that is expected of all NCOs. Is it worthy of an ARCOM? Not in my opinion.

Well, she still sucks!

I know many Soldiers who do much more and greater and get Nothing! This is a joke!

This is a huge Joke. This kind of stupid stuff went on back when I was in. I knew I had to get out when Cooks passing out MREs received a BS for it. I am not surprised by this in anyway. I would have been in deep if this clown had "searched me out".

Wow, 86% nice. Check out on Facebook Dysfunctional Veterans, those guys are funny as all get out (IMO) and love trolling ol 1SG Moerk.
