It's bad enough that we have a courtesy patrol that goes to bars, night clubs and gentleman's establishments. However, what are standards and regulations if not upheld by the leadership? Is it ok to pick and choose what applies, and who is applies to or not, or should we hold everyone accountable at all times, even if it means calling out those above us?

No, it is not okay. If leadership is not going to uphold the standards and regulations issued, they should simply rescind them.

I believe we have entered a period of the systematic destruction of traditional American values and the intentional disregard for military codes and regulations is only one avenue in the greater agenda.

Standards apply to everyone...regardless of rank. You "lose face" as a leader if you are unwilling to live by the standards you are enforcing. Who wants a leader counseling them about the overweight program when that leader is overweight as well. If you are making an on the spot correction to enforce a standard and getting flak for it, just remember that you are in the right and those that refer to you as a "boy scout" are in the wrong. I don't know about you SSG Scott but the last time I checked being a boy scout was not a bad thing. Next time someone calls you a boy scout ask them if they need help crossing the street.

Remember, every time you walk by and do not enforce the standard....you just created a new standard.

SFC Christopher Humphrey, thank you for putting a smile on my face. Love the reference to helping them across the street. Personally, I dont care what people call me, all I ask is they spell my name right. I'm going to continue doing what I do.

If not upheld, standards are essentially meaningless, SSG(P) (Join to see).

Agreed. I get hemmed up so many times for being a "boy scout."
