YOU are the 1SG. Your spouse tells you about a FaceBook post with disparaging remarks about the unit leadership. What do you do?

Great points! I purposely avoided gender. I glad someone noticed! Your point of discussing the issue with the PSG is spot on in my opinion. What are the true underlying issues? Is the spouse only echoing what the PSG is saying at home? There truly is a lot more information to be sought after here.

CPT Wolfer covered it in my mind. I always love the assumption that the spouse is a female. I can promise you that male spouses have more than their share of issues. Especially if they are former service members.

Young Captain, your First Sergeant, I am sure, performs minor miracles on a daily basis that do not require your knowledge. I would beg to differ from your comment of the 1SGs job to know. He/she may not have knowledge of any social media scuttlebutt and often times the soldier in the unit never communicates any grievances. I can assure you, if the Company/Battery leadership is in question, it smacks on you as well Captain!

Personally, I would ignore it altogether, for many reasons, but the most important is Face Book. Its a social network, if someone were to look at my page and try to figure out who I am they would be way off base, only my friends see the real me. Its a fantasy land that people make what they want it to be, feeding into it is exactly what the person that did the writing wants, if you ignore that socially inept person that only has the ability to communicate through that media or texting, they will either approach you or stop writing. I have found that the people that use Face Book as a means of communication are usually socially awkward lacking the ability to communicate face to face. My grandfather always told me, believe nothing you hear and half of what you see, that has kept me out of a lot of issues in life. If its truly important, that person will talk to the leadership in a professional manner with their concerns, giving the leadership the opportunity to discuss it. And anyone else, mature that is, will ignore it as just another Face book rant.

@ SSG Vickie Michelle Woods... Great comment!

I hate when the "Army Wives" that have never served thy to wear their husband's rank and boss you and your wife around.

But that's another story.

The last time I checked... there is no rank structure among civilians...spouses or otherwise.

Just because spouse X's hubby is 1 pay grade higher does not mean she can boss her manager (my wife) around and get away with it.

SSG V. Michelle Woods - My wife was prior service,never ever did she try to stay in the Army,now as she supported me through my career and was one the best Military spouses.

This is one of those that's so wrong its too funny not to share.

SQUIRREL!

If you agree, set up another fb account and like it.

You are correct. Sometimes spouses take it too serious and go too far. It's almost like the Real House Wives of Fort _______.

SSG V. Michelle Woods stop digging!
