What would you do if your CSM was ignoring uniform and grooming standards? (CSM Flournoy)

The question I would be asking is how her NCOs and officers allowed her behavior, during her career, to reach this level.

There was an awesome meme on FB about her. She should have been relieved, removed, and retired. Too bad its an Army now a days that doesn't want to hurt any feelings.

Now,w/ this sxxt storm, will the SMA publicly address this matter so all of the RP respondents are informed? By saying, 'addressing', I am also inferring, would the SMA explain how in the blazes, this occurred and was allowed to fester to the point of having so many looks on RP, along w/ 1800? comments? The SMA needs to 'Ranger Up' on this one!

look at the way she wears her head dress, and her hair is in question with the current regulations, and I presume her attitude is substandard...now what corrections have been taken should have been at her superior level....unfortunately no action has been taken...is why it reached the level at hand. Action: 1) soldier disciplined ART15, Insubordination/unwilling to adhere to Military Policies/Standards of Personal conduct as a soldier. 2)immediate supervisor disciplined ART15, Insubordination-lack of supervision/failure to correct, failure to report insubordination of a lower ranking subordinate/soldier.

I been in the military for awhile now, and I seen this so much. I used to be that guy that would come up to the person and ask if there hair, or grooming, or nails is correct? Sometimes I would just ask because it looks "not right". I was told long time ago that if it makes you look twice then its probably wrong. I know male grooming, specially because I have a non-shaving profile at one point. So when I see people not shaved or styling their facial hair I am all over and call them out because I know the right way. Female grooming I will admit that I am not a SME. What I have done in the past is that I pulled one of my female highspeed NCOs and asked them what is the female grooming standard. Then I asked (pointed at the female that is in question) if that female looks right. If they tell me no then I have pulled the female to the side and asked whats the standard... pretty much I let them incriminate themselves and then let them know that I want to see it fixed or report to their first line supervisor, or they will go report to First Sergeant.

Its hard for anybody when the Soldier is higher rank. I know because we had this issue with a LTC and on top of that she was the S1. So she had power to make things go south for those who corrected her which is kind of intimidating. I can only see that no junior Soldier wanted to take on this CSM. Sadly, this brings down the morale and the respect of the Soldiers in the ranks and their perception of the command.

I am still having a hard time believing that fake hair and wigs are ok in the military. I dont think it should be because hats/covers never look right.

The answer is simple ...YOU OUT LEAD HER ... ! Lead by Example ... FOLLOW ME ... !

it is as shame any sgt. maj. would act like this maybe a swift kick in the arse out of the army with a less than honorable with no benefits would teach her ...... should never have happend

If this was my CSM, I'd have long, shaggy hair and a fat beard.

All branches have them. We call them E9s. AF is choking on them.

Chief, just because minorities are not commenting doesn't mean that all this is racism. I wonder though how long has this been going on? How many other senior leaders looked the other way? So I am curious about the other side of the story. OK Rally Point, since this CSM has been drug over the coals I ask that any soldier that has had this leader make a positive difference in their lives or career please make you experience known. Let us know the other side of the story.
