We do enforce standards but we are not out there trolling facebook/snapchat/myspace or the myriad of other venues.....if there's a problem we are going to fix it....

SFC Private RallyPoint Member, thanks for bringing this topic back to the front, it is a great practice to train our Service Members on what right looks like.

SSG James Nelson, the Social Media/UCMJ PDF file has been forwarded to some military affiliated pages on Facebook and Twitter. It's crazy to see a lot of service members deleting pictures and past comments (Army Times). Don’t make any sense on why were they posting it in the first place. I just recently read a comment from a Senior NCO worried about someone trolling his comments to get an Award. As long as, the statement or pictures is with-in the Good order and Discipline; there is nothing to worry about.

This kind of silly shit right here is exactly why, on Memorial Day and Veteran's Day and Throwback Thursdays, I don't follow that Facebook trend of changing my profile to something of me in a uniform. I don't need the headaches of people trawling social media looking for nitpicky things.
