I saw this photo on the Duffle Blog recently, posted via facebook. There was quite the debate in the comments with some arguing that it is simply corrective training and is perfectly okay, while others stated that it is hazing and completely inappropriate. Some argue that it is demeaning to the Soldier, while others argue that is the POG mentality of a softer Army. <div><br><div>Personally, I think that no matter whether people think it is hazing or corrective training, it is not professional. Having served as an 11B for 8 years and as a 35P for the last 6, I would stand by the argument that professionalism is the same regardless of MOS. As NCOs, we live by a creed that starts out saying "No one is more professional than I. I am a noncommissioned officer..." I would love for an NCO who is okay with this to please explain how this is a fine example of professionalism that meets our NCO Creed and Army Values. If this is the best solution an NCO can come up with, then that is a perfect example of bad leadership and that NCO should not be allowed in our Army.</div></div><div><br></div><div>Thats just my $.02, but what do you think?</div>

LT Jeffries,
It is definitely creative but not my style. I prefer a less public method of corrective training, especially if it is a first offense.
