I would agree with the comments thus far if the actions were by a private female citizen against another private citizen, male or female.
However, this is Army business relating to both a senior NCO and subordinates. There is NO ‘off-work’ room for such BS by soldiers of any branch.
Comments thus far are egregiously misplaced.
There are severe problems with our military leadership and priorities; I don’t believe this article writes of anything remotely of concern
Exactly what was the BS for which there is no room? You are asking me to accept on faith that it was worthy of the action taken. I’ve seen enough bureaucratic PC BS that I don’t accept that premise on faith.
The soldiers involved were not her subordinates.
She stuck her nose in the business of another command, jumped over the heads of said other command (instead of having the professional decorum of an NCO) by bringing it to the attention of the soldiers 1SG and Plt Sgt. IF their 1SG didn’t take action you kick it up to their CSM, etc. In other words you follow the chain of command, you don’t go straight to the top with a whiny letter to general fancy pants sitting in the five sided puzzle palace.
But, I think you would agree with me that giving her a medal for this is a bit much. She was simply reminding Joes to refrain from posting things that she believed would reflect poorly on the Army. I don't know what the 1st SGT saw, so I can't judge if it was correct or not.
I also agree with you that many of the comments aren't exactly on target? She is a REMF? She is Intel. That's what they do. The Finance guys were in the rear too. But, I liked getting paid! I can't fault her for being Intel.
