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

By ignoring any standard within certain commands by senior NCO’s is not as uncommon as one would expect. Like stated, it’s not likely someone of higher authority is going to stir the pot unless absolutely necessary, what’s the term, oh yeah! that’s it, Political Correctness. I don’t give two shyts what others think, the majority of E-8 and above are so fear stricken with this political correctness, it interferes with their professional judgment and moral turpitude. The attitude is I made it, stay low profile and avoid possible exposure by doing your fawking job! It’s people like this woman who was probably promoted simply because of her color or just by being a woman. And its people like her who believes “Her” standard is the standard others should follow. Now I’m positive I’m going to get dragged out across the coals, but you know what? I’m retired and this has to be exposed! It’s these types of people who convinces soldiers, good soldiers, to leave the Army because of their double standards. No damn wonder it’s getting tougher to persuade them to stay longer. AS far as the 8th Theater CSM responding to this matter, well, I’m pretty damn sure he was aware of it, but then again, why stir the pot. There’s a philosophy real soldiers abide by, “Strive for excellence, Set the Example, and be the Leader of those who expects Leadership”. So, now the 8th Theater CSM responds, primps around rustling his feathers for show and what will probably happen is not a damn thing other than a verbal reprimand. This female CSM should immediately be relieved and reassigned to a more highly visible organization that will force her to do the job expectant of her and remain within “Army” standards.

Start with her immediate superior, then right up her chain of command. To be sure she has at least one superior who doesn't give a shit if she plays the race/female card. We have to get this political correct bullshit out of the military.

I shake my head every time I see this particular article pop up. All I will say is, everyone has someone they report to (a leader); leaders lead...there are a number of "leaders" culpable in this situation.

Oooo! Oooooo! Please, please let me answer that question of how she got to her current position! Please, me, me , me; oooo, ooo, I know, I know!

When I was in. Even though my hair was within regulation I did not use enough gel to keep it cemented to my scalp. I received a counseling statement because I had to much hair. I have very thick hair.

This is an old article, wonder where she is Oct 2017? Hope she has retired and not hired in any kind of leadership position.

If a couldn't take care of the problem. If I ever pit raked her. Bad day for her. My question is why didn't her Superior straighten her ass out

As far as uniform goes. I would have told her about. I had a office I had fix up when a saw him.he put his collar bats on the wrong side. Always something with hom.

Back at issue? AMBUSH HER AND CUT THE HAIR like they do in BCT! Seriously, if she is back at issue, remove her from command and fast.

I'm sure this pattern of behavior has been ongoing. There's plenty of blame and missed opportunities to correct this wayward soldier.
