Is it ok for Officers to be friends with Enlisted in their chain of command? What about supervisors/supervisees?

That's a great question Capt (Join to see)! Honestly, I never really gave the topic much thought.
I would surmise, much like anything else in DoD Land, as long as there are no issues, no issues will be found. I guess it's sort of like an enlisted sitting down in the CO's office and having a cup of coffee while "shooting the sh!t". So long as no lines are crossed, everyone should be good to go.

I don't think social media would constitute fraternization. I have been friends with subordinates on Facebook. I find it helps me keep track of how they are doing, and is another communication line I can use during the month. I don't comment on their posts, and don't expect them to comment on mine.

That's a good point. I had considered it as a tool for helping you keep up with their lives and make sure they're doing ok.

As long as you're not friends with them to purposefully spy on them and use it as a means to track their every move, I see nothing wrong with it and see it as a way to be more informed about your troops.
