But when do you draw the line on what you should change because someone in the public doesn&#39;t like it. Example: someone took a picture of someone dropping off food for the guys at the gate working 14hours a day and unable to leave the gate. Our cheif saw the pic and it was an issue, is this to far or no? 2016-12-27T18:05:56-05:00 SSgt Private RallyPoint Member 2193281

Our cheif saw the pic and it was an issue, is this to far or no?&quot;<br /><br />Im sorry, your chief found that pic of food being brought to Airmen unprofessional? <br /><br />Umm, What? What did he perceive as unprofessional? <br /><br />Can it go too far?, well I suppose sure... depending on your response to the above it may very well be an example. <br /><br />&quot;Soldiers will no longer be allowed to receive or use Women and Infants assistance (WIC), it gives the wrong impression to the civilians...<br /><br /> That would be an example.<br /><br />&quot;Soldiers will only have their hair cut in the following two type examples (insert picture), as the commander I feel any other hair cut style regardless of allow ability in the regulation is unprofessional&quot; <br />That would be an example

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>looks and sounds Like the Chief needs to get a Grip... <br />Unless he is going to have someone relieve the Gate Guard periodically to make chow runs or bathroom Breaks... looks like its the Chief&#39;s who has the problem ... <br />and the Moron sticking his Nose in some one else&#39;s business... what does it matter if the gate guard gets chow delivered... <br />Are their regs covering the issues... <br />any decent NCO or Officer of the Guard would have the Guard Posts rotated regularly to make sure the Troops are taken care of... <br />There are 2 things the all NCO&#39;s and Young Officers need to remember... <br />1... Accomplishment of the mission<br />2 ...health and welfare of the troops<br />3... with out 1 + 2 you are screwed... or as an old SGM used to as Look for a new Job son... I don&#39;t beed you here...

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>In situations like this, ask yourself two questions:<br /><br />Does this action contribute to mission accomplishment?<br />Does this action take care of my ______(Soldiers/Sailors/Airmen/Marines)?<br /><br />If you answered yes to these two questions and your action did not violate a constraint placed by a higher commander, you should be fine.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;d like to know why a service member would be on duty for 14 hours without a break for chow. Did that happen? Or did they call from the gate and order delivery? Depends on the context.<br />I couldn&#39;t chastise someone for eating Chinese food in lieu of an MRE. If they ordered from the Mandarin House and had it delivered....eh, that&#39;s different. If their battle buddy or spouse/significant other brought them food... I don&#39;t see an issue...outside of some SOP/Policy I&#39;m not privy to...

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Why is it that anyone even pays attention to some idiot minding someone else&#39;s business ? A lot of other people can eat whenever they want, the Security Police don&#39;t always have that mobility and if the Chief didn&#39;t support His own men shame on Him ! I find that response from a senior NCO or Officer disgusting and I&#39;m glad I never had to work for anyone like that! As a Senior NCO (now retired) myself the individual minding someone else&#39;s business would find out very quickly it wasn&#39;t a good idea !
