I got a friend request from one of my soldiers in my platoon the other day. He is a SPC. I was thinking that I would deny it. First off, I am pretty particular on who I let be my FB friend. But before I was about to deny I thought to myself, I am FB friends with the Battalion Commander and CSM. I am just a PL. What is the difference between a Team leader facebooking his PL and a PL facebooking the BC.
How do you deal with such requests? It seems to be a balancing at being personable and professional. Have you ever denied a FB, and if so were there any ramifications due to it. Like that awkward moment when you see them at work.
