Folks have been sending the link to the Army Times<\/a> article about the dust up of the ARCOM for 1SG Moersk<\/a>, who trolled folks on a video, apparently. I say “troll” because I’m fairly convinced that is what she did, given my experience with her since I commented on the story earlier. As soon as she saw my post, she emailed it (via Twitter) to Sergeant Major of the Army Ray Chandler as well as the Pentagon’s G-1 and to the chief of the SHARP Program. And then she took the time to call me an “asshat” on Facebook. <\/p>\n

Then she went to her blog and accused us of calling her a “whore” (no, we didn’t) and said that we accused her of Stolen Valor (again, no we didn’t). Thanks to the magic of the internet cache here are few paragraphs that she wrote about the TAH post – and me;<\/p>\n

\"Katrina<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

So, I did what she did to the soldiers that she trolled – I looked her up on AKO and emailed her. When she answered my email, she cc’d her company commander. The first sergeant said that she didn’t understand why I would assassinate her character (which I didn’t – I couldn’t assassinate that which I couldn’t find). <\/p>\n

Then, for some stupid reason, she emailed Bulldog at Guardians of Valor and asked him to influence me to remove the post about her. She said that she had asked me to remove it (she hadn’t) and that I had mumbled something about “freedom of speech” (I didn’t).<\/p>\n

The rumor is that her command has instituted a “gag order” forbidding anyone in her unit from speaking about the same thing that the Department of Defense had issued a press release to celebrate. For all I know, that same gag order is instituted through out the Army.<\/p>\n

The Lemon Party Triad thought that it was important enough that they sent a link for the blog post to outgoing Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel complaining that I complained about an Army Accommodation Medal – whatever that is.<\/p>\n

So, I guess it’s time to clarify what my position on the whole thing is; Any NCO who updates any three-star general on their daily activities would look like those North Korean generals covered with ARCOMs. If generals ever knew what any sergeant did moment-by-moment they’d be amazed. I went back and looked at my ARCOMs and realized that the only times I earned any was when a general got to see me work. But, to me, I was doing nothing that I didn’t do every day. So if every First Sergeant in the Army had their own general, they could get ARCOMs out the wazoo.<\/p>\n

Given First Sergeant Moersk’s behavior since I published the post, I have to guess that she antagonized the soldiers on the social media website into their bad behavior. I know she tried to goad me into saying things I wouldn’t ordinarily say to a woman. She was purposely obtuse in an attempt to frustrate me. Moersk mischaraterized what I (and you) wrote and since I don’t have a boss, she thought her own boss’ inclusion in our conversation would bully me, and as a last resort, she thought she could get my friends to influence me.<\/p>\n

The other day, Hondo wanted to do a follow up to my initial post but I told him that we should just leave her alone – but her own behavior since then has influenced me to write this post. Who knows what she’s telling other people. But, yeah, she lives up to my initial description of her as a “troll”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
