I went to basic with this SM and saw on his Facebook that he went to Prom in his ACU's. How would you go about mentoring one of your subordinates that are in violation of AR670-1?
AR670-1 Chapter 4 Section 3 Line 2... That's what I found in the reg, please attach anything else you find
**EDIT** This is not a Dance, but it is some Formal assembly and to the best of my knowledge he is not on Duty.. Class A's would of been appropriate (as long as it's in regs, which I'm sure isn't hard since he would only have 1 ribbon)

I agree with SFC Damon M.
However, It doesn't really look like prom because the 2 girls are wearing cheerleading uniforms - looks more to be a homecoming- but idk - he should know, but should take the pic down

Where you guys are missing the big picture is if he is active duty and he at the highschool with a girl ( which if in highschool most likely under the age of 18) that's statutory rape in the military

Not all young Soldiers are over 18. I had Soldiers as an instructor that were going through basic and AIT during the summer time, or their birthday fell sometime after they were in for a little while. So as I think that is an honest discussion, I don't necessarily think it is the "big picture".

There is no federal mandate on the age of consent. The age of consentual sexual intercourse is set by individual states and territories. The typical age of consent in the USA is 16 years old. Some few states use 17 or 18 as their age... but that is not typical. The UCMJ puts the age of consent as 16, but there are other ways to prosecute a soldier than trying to string them up on rape charges.
The UCMJ specifically states: "(b) Any person subject to this chapter who, under circumstances not amounting to rape, commits an act of sexual intercourse with a female not his wife who has not attained the age of sixteen years, is guilty of carnal knowledge and shall be punished as a court-martial may direct."

Sp4 Byron Skinner…A rather tricky question. The fact that any military personal would wear there uniform off base is a tribute to the acceptance of the uniform has in a public setting. One is that seems odd is that all of the young ladies are wearing sashes and as noted two appear to be cheerleaders. It also appears that the person in back of the young lady on the left is also in a military uniform. This snapshot could very likely be from a civilian/military event that involved some kind of contest that these young ladies were in. There also appears to be some kind of award pinned on the soldier uniform. Since ribbons or medals are usually not presented but have been to soldiers in their fatigues…If this is what the Army has to worry about there are to many people in some support/service units.

Youth... I'm happy to see there are young men and women that still want to serve considering who our commander-in-chief is . I wouldn't get too upset over the small violation if it even is on by a 17-year-old private. It would of been better if you wore a dress uniform.

I think everyone that is upset is not looking close enough at this picture. My guess is that it's Homecoming not Prom. I also think this the the Homecoming Court and was taken at the game. The kid in ACUs is probably in JROTC and they normally wear the ACUs to the game and present the colors and do Push-ups after touch downs. This happens at both college and high school level. Calm down everyone unless we actually know the story behind the picture.

Dunno, he has no markings of a soldier at all from the pic. I don't see a unit patch last name US Army tape, nothing. Could very well just be a redneck that bought some crap to go hunting in. If this was one of my soldiers getting his picture taken with a bunch of High School cheerleaders we would be having a long talk about his dating practices. Trolling local high school homecoming games is not acceptable.

How do you know that he wasn't home to surprise his family? Many pictures are all over Facebook of soldiers surprising their family members at Graduations, school programs, etc. With the way things are going in this country right now, maybe we need more of this. We need to show our soldiers as humans, not monster killers like they are so often are.
