Army probing Instagram of soldier 'hiding' to avoid flag salute

Breh, growing up in America period is brainwashing. What you think The Pledge of Allegiance is for? But yeah, it is brainwashing. Ever wonder why they make everybody shave their head in basic training?

The thing I hated most about the military is having to salute officers when you passed them

They probably felt the same way, unless they were some wet behind the ear lieutenants LOL. It's really fukked up for them though because they have to salute everybody. But the pay they get makes up for it.

Nah a lot of them liked that shyt. It fed there ego. I remember this major tried to check me in a McDonalds parking lot on base for not saluting even though I had mad shyt in both hands.

Reason #4 on why I got out: hoe-ass Officers.

Breh, I've been in the military. You're not supposed to salute when you're in your car. Everybody is just supposed to stop until the music is over, and keep moving. Agree with everything else though. She was dumb as hell.

It depends on location, on Bragg and Pope, you supposed to get out and salute, on Carson, just keep on driving.

Army probing Instagram of soldier 'hiding' to avoid flag salute

An Army private who wrote on Instagram that she was “hiding” in her car to avoid an end-of-day flag salute is the latest soldier to face possible punishment over what the military has called distasteful social media posts.

Pfc. Tariqka Sheffey of Ft. Carson in Colorado posted a selfie, with a caption that read:

“This is me laying back in my car hiding so I don’t have to salute the 1700 flag, KEEP ALL YOUR ‘THATS SO DISRESPECTFUL/HOWRUDE/ETC.’ COMMENTS TO YOURSELF cuz, right now, IDGAFFFF,” the last string of letters referring to “I don’t give a …”

Ft. Carson officials said Wednesday that they are aware of the photo and investigating after the image began circulating on Tuesday and was first reported by the Army Times.

Last week, a National Guard funeral honors team member in Wisconsin was suspended after Instagram posts of her making light of military funerals started spreading.

In Washington, an Air Force staff sergeant became the subject of investigation after she saw one of her Facebook photos go viral online. The photos shows her sticking her tongue into the mouth of the soldier silhouette on the Prisoner-of-war-Missing-in-action logo.

In all three cases this month, the main soldier in question has been a black female, prompting some commenters to wonder whether such soldiers are being targeted.

The soldiers have been bombarded with comments of disgust, though some have come to Sheffey's defense and said ditching flag salutes is common.

Military officials have said they would make clear to soldiers that they must watch what they post online.

“Fort Carson leaders will continue to educate soldiers on standards and discipline and appropriate professional conduct on social media consistent with Army Values -- both on and off duty,” a statement said.

And this is why I don't post shyt on my Facebook and Instagram.

I work on Bragg (civilian). People stop in their tracks when the music plays. I just keep walking anyway.

These guys are a$$holes though. One soldier that works in my building, they keep making him shave during his lunch even though he says he shaves in the morning.

Because the MP's will give you a ticket if they catch uniformed personnel not getting out the car and saluting, same as on Pope.

And Bragg is like that, one of the most strenuous, down to the book, Hooah Hooah, posts I've ever served in. Ft Carson was faaaaar less strenuous.

I only hear it when I'm leaving late (around 5:30) which isn't often. I have worked with military before (been a government employee since 19) but nothing like this. I got here almost two years ago and I'm ready to leave. They are too hardcore around here for me.

Oh, what does 'All The Way' mean? They say it to me every time I go through the gate.

i'm shocked..a black person telling on themselves on social media

Wow, never heard that. When I was in, we definitely didn't do that. I was on Air Force bases though.

bytch told on herself

 

[Chesirecatdaddy]

LOL why do people feel the need to air everything out on social media?



and worst of all tell everyone to keep their comments to themselves

I know what she did was very stupid, but she didn't deserve to be front page news on msn.com with her face on the home screen.
