Lets face it, social media is at an all time high right now and Facebook tops the list. But it can either be a great tool and great place to get solid feedback, or it can ruin a career. Soldiers posting pics of them drinking while underage, smoking whatever, or even the unprofessional pictures that violate good order and discipline of the Army can ultimately ruin someones career. Would you agree or disagree?

Have you ever looked to Facebook to see what your junior troops are doing? With Facebook not being as private as everyone wishes it was, young troops post potentially incriminating stuff.

Or if you are an employer have you ever looked to Facebook to disqualify an applicant?

If someone in the military posts a picture that is incriminating and that also violates the UCMJ, can that be enough to charge them? Such as underage drinking, vandalism, being at a black listed establishment, ect. 

How do we as leaders address problems that arise due to social networking? 

I use Facebook mainly to promote my wife's business and rarely post anything on it.
