<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nBobo sends us a link to the Army Times which tells the story of Colonel Glenda Lock, who in the words of her sergeant major, was a “borderline toxic leader”. She had a habit of taking her Physical Fitness test out of sight from her soldiers, but she couldn’t hide when she failed her body composition measurement which determined that she was too big for her weight (that means she’s fat). The colonel tried to find ways around being placed in the Army Body Composition Program which would make Lock ineligible for promotion, assumption of a command, bonuses, and advance or excess leave, you know, like it would any other soldier in the program.<\/p>\n
Lock tried a workaround to avoid getting in trouble, the investigation found. The medical center’s chief of HR said in a sworn statement that Lock gave her a call later that day.<\/p>\n
“She asked me if I could remove the flag or somehow fix it because it could not go forward,” the HR chief’s statement said.<\/p>\n
Later, the HR chief called Lock back to confirm that the flag could not be removed unless it was erroneous, and said Lock told her, “I wasn’t asking you that; I was only trying to find out the procedures.”<\/p>\n
The HR chief said in the clarifying statement that Lock did not explicitly order the flag’s removal, “but her intent was that the flag be removed\u2026.I perfectly understood what she was saying.” The HR chief added: “An O6 in my rating chain was asking me to do something unethical and I don’t think I should be put in that position.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Well, eventually, Lock was relieved of her position for “poor command climate”. Now she’s the Senior Nurse Staff Officer in San Antonio. The Army won’t boot her, though, she doesn’t have to worry about that – there’s always a shortage of nurses and they’ll always make adjustments to keep a nurse in uniform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
