MSG Shepherd,
This is one of my favorite topics and I get a lot of different views. Personally, I friend my Soldiers on Facebook because I can use it as a leadership tool. Long weekends and holidays are a big time for people to post everything they are doing and it helps keep issues at my level. However, I don't think all Leaders should follow this tool unless they have a personal abd professional account. A lot of respect can be lost from Leaders using social media with their Soldiers if they are not professional off duty as well. Overall, I find it beneficial.

During deployments NCO's were encouraged to visit their troopers sites for OPSEC purposes. Making sure photos and information was not shared to the public.

I rarely check my Soldiers Social Media Pages nor do I accept friend requests from those under me.
If something is brought to my attention I will check it out. Otherwise I do not have time to stalk people on social media; I have too many other things to concern myself with.
I do however brief my Soldiers at least once a week that Social Media is a permanent event and the things hey place on there can become a problem for them in their careers whether it be Military or Civilian.
