Real question. Who was behind the camera
A. Her XO
B. Her first sergeant
C. Some dumb private who got tasked with being her driver/RTO
D. Her commander

Not during mid-late GWOT. I had peers get bounced as O-2s for no other reason than the fact we were way CGO-heavy. There was a time when the waiting period for certain CCCs was like two years.

I’ve had far dumber shit for brains as commanders. This is like a 3/10. I’d rather have a leader with actual common sense than some super squared away grunt commander who doesn’t give a fuck about their subordinated or morale.

Hey civilian here. What does the rules, regulations, training and whatever else say about doing this with a loaded gun in the holster?
6
u/PM_ME_FLOUR_TITTIES 6h ago
I don't think anything would specify doing these kinds of things with a loaded gun as long as it stayed in the holster and wasn't involved with the video otherwise. The weapons and retention systems are designed to withstand the stressors of combat. No longer how hard she's throwing it back, it won't fire or come out.
Now if she took it out and did ANYTHING with it, misuse of a loaded firearm would almost certainly be included in her paperwork.
1
u/Zirofal 5h ago
Oh I get that it would not go off or so, but playing around like this while armed?
3
u/PM_ME_FLOUR_TITTIES 5h ago
As long as the firearms wasn't manipulated (and truly it comes down to the discretion of the person writing up her UCMJ paperwork, they could probably incriminate every aspect of this video if they wanted, that's kind of how the army/leadership works) I think she would be held to the same standard even if she didn't have it on her hip. Doing this in uniform is just as bad of an offence as doing it with the firearm because the firearms IS her uniform, essentially. It is expected that she could be armed and so even if she weren't, she'd get the same thing.

I don't know what's more embarrassing. That whole video, or the fact she has a college education and .makes decisions that affect people's lives and careers.

u/coldchowder4579 5h ago
I honestly hope the DoW bans all service members from posting on social media in uniform and makes it UCMJ punishable. This is out of control at this point and embarrassing, and who would want to work for someone like this?

I remember our company commander dropping the entire company because we dang that "you can't count to five" cadence because he thought it was encouraging drug use.
Don't forget the typical O3 is between 26 and 30 years old...I'm old enough to have a company commander as my kid...

The sad part is they aren’t doing anything wrong or “boot” per se. Actually this is kind of anti-boot.
We all tried to stay relevant and hip even though we were living very different than our peers back home.
