Battles..question is this... How do you feel about soldiers signing a petition? Now I now this is freedom of speech however this is in reference to a soldier signing a petition to legalize marijuana. Is this violation of AR 600-85 or is this considered free speech? Besides pulling this soldier away and talking to them about the issue is there another way to correct the issue?

I Call BS on this Out Of Uniform Crap. Whether you are Out of Uniform or Not, you are On Duty 24/7,and you Give up Freedom of Speech when you Raise your hand and take the Oath. My Thoughts, you are welcome to your Own.

To further clarify, the DoDI MAJ Petrarca posted a link to says nothing with regard to location or clothing worn. "It has to be done off post" or "not while in uniform" are inaccurate. Should it be done in those manners, yes. Required in those manners, no.

As long as they do it not in uniform or on military time then their is nothing wrong with it. Also if person was not in uniform or if they signed it online how would you know if that person is military or not? I sign petitions all the time however I'm just a weekend warrior.
