Pr0ngrapher not getting love from the Guard
According to the Associated Press, Idaho Guardsman SSG Amy Weidner lost her full time Guard job because some members of her unit found her porn site;
In her tort claim, Weidner said her husband agreed to the making of the [pr0nography] and that the couple has been injured by the Guard’s actions. Weidner went from working fulltime and making $59,000 a year to working one weekend a month and two full weeks a year, making $8,000.
“Claimant’s rank has been denigrated, her authority has been taken away from her, her full-time job has been forfeited, and the failure of the command to enforce its own rules and regulations other than against claimant, has caused severe hardship for claimant and her husband, her work performance and her reputation,” the tort claim states.
And, as if it needed to be said she has also made allegations of discrimination, sexual harassment and a hostile work environment.
Weidner’s website offered photos, video and live on-camera chats with subscribers. Weidner used the name “Sandy Blaze” and didn’t identify herself as a member of the military. She promoted the site when it launched with a tweet saying, “Hello soldier boys. You can visit me…for some treats. I Support the Troops!!!”
Weidner has been in the Guard since 1998 and a full time Guardsman since 2004, and I guess she didn’t appreciate it, because from what I understand from Guardsmen I knew, a full time position is highly prized.
There are still pictures on line, none that I feel like sharing. Meh, nothing spectacular, but certainly not conduct becoming for a staff sergeant. Did she think that no one in her unit looks at pr0n? See, they call it a “world-wide web” for a reason.

A military court recently declared that a sex video filmed in the home and only for personal use constituted conduct unbecoming. Doing paid porn is definitely a no no.
It sounds like her career is suffering from a self-inflicted wound!
She is lucky they did not throw her ass out entirely. The gall to sue because she lost her job over her own actions. Performing pornography is kind of frowned upon in the Army.
Dumb ass. At least wear a wig and cat glasses.
Who makes 60 grand a year in the military? unless you are an E8 or above, or maybe a LTC or above? Granted, I have been out since 2004.
What is this, 1694? Who gives a crap what a woman does in her free time? As long as she wasn’t doing any of that while in uniform, it’s none of anyone’s goddamn business.
Sex should only be relevant to someone’s military career if it’s happening between soldiers of the same unit. The CO of her unit should have kept the gossip circle and busybodies in check, instead of thinking its his/her place to be the morality police.
@6 If you are a full time soldier…. YOU ARE A FULL TIME SOLDIER. Don’t put it up for sale if you don’t want to face the wrath
Wonder if I met her out at Gowen, use to be stationed at Mt Home and had to deal with alot of the army fulltimers there. Out in Gowen Field, its a prize to get a Full time job there, usually give it to the townies who been there for 10 years or so.
Gowen Field had alot of freaks (freaky females) out there alot partied at Boise, I heard a few Gowen chicks were strippers at some of the clubs in Boise and near Meridian.
Gives the term Nasty Girl a whole new meaning.
Pics or it didn’t happen. 😀
@6, Oh STFU!! An NCO Full timer is not entitled to go out and sell their body for a few extra bucks.
Don’t like it? GTFO of the military, then sell your skanky ass all you want. Do not do it while you are in and bring discredit upon yourself, your Unit, and the United Sates Army.
@11, that’s just it, why would what she was doing bring discredit on anyone if people weren’t stuck in the 1400’s, twisted around the axles about other people’s sex lives?
Again, how consenting adults get their jollies off has nothing to do with the military, and everything to do with people who want to inject their religious version of morality into everything, even when it’s not their business.
We’ve got our own goddamned Taliban in this country, who’d prefer women to live like Little House on the Prairie, and are threatened by females expressing their sexuality.
#12, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
The real Taliban beat women to death for going to the market without a chaperone. They pulled out the finger and toe nails of a seven-year-old girl because she tinted them with food coloring. Link NSFW or children: http://www.rawa.org/gallery.html
And now you call people “Taliban” because a staff sergeant–who knew better–was caught violating the UCMJ and demoted, not killed, beaten, maimed, or even raped.
Meanwhile, there are plenty of reasons to doubt the military cares about “other people’s sex lives”, as long as they don’t engage in public displays for money or in any other way violate good order and discipline. And once the SSG was recognized (by someone from her unit) on that web page, her command had little recourse under the law.
You really suck at metaphors. And research. And not in a good way.
@Guard Sergeant:
It’s not about she gets her rocks off, it’s about how it will depict her as an authority figure. If she was giving you hell for fraternizing or something of a sexual, would you take her as seriously if you were watching her swallow a dick the night before?
@12, Several members of the US Army were tossed out for their involvement in pornography. All males…. So take you Taliban comments and stuff them up your ass.
It is about respect. I would have no respect at all nor do I have any for porn stars, never mind if they happened to be in positions of authority over me.
I am no prude, but if I saw a SSG in my command taking it up the ass in a porn flick, no way I am showing them any bit of respect in formation.
No discipline assholes…. WTF has happened to our Army??
Eh on AD i knew quite a few guys…some in my plt that made extra money as male strippers…
Geez LouISE!! WTF, over?
Way to make yourself look really, seriously STUPID! And then whine when caught?? Some folks simply do not want to be part of the military bad enough to actually do that little thing called following the rules.
Oh, well. Plenty of others in line to take the job she so cavalierly threw away. She is probably also looking at not being allowed to reenlist as well.
I am full time technician through the Guard. I wear the uniform to work every day, PT for one hour every morning, etc. I am just like the AD guys. I make close to 53,000 and just a SPC4 mafioso. Granted, I work on the Apache but thats neither here nor there. Its part of the reason I joined the Guard so I could get a full time position at the AASF out here.
An NCO’s authority is officially derived from his promotion warrant. It’s ACTUALLY derived from the NCO’s technical and tactical proficiency and how their subordinates perceive their overall character.
Porn actresses, like it or not, do not get taken seriously.
Sluts are cool.
Gee, I wonder I Guard Seargent is really our p0rn SST in the article above. Otherwise they should understand how a member of the unit doing the nasty on the interests could affect morale, discipline and unit cohesion.
Not the brightest thing to be doing as an AGR NCO while states are looking for the slightest reasons to put personnel out – oops, I mean balance the budget…
It’s the Army’s rules. Don’t like ’em? Get out. No one held a gun to your head to force you to join.
If it was consensual, private, and not pay-for-play, you might convince me. But as soon as it goes interwebz, all bets are off. I wouldn’t be surprised if she got the boot.
@6 and @8, (Guard Sergeant),
It isn’t about the private sexual habits of service members. She ( or he) could puff a mile of peters or slap tacos with Ellen types all night every night.
I’m sure everyone on this forum has seen a girly mag or two in our time, or a skin flick.
When you put your sexual lifestyle on display and make a profit from it, you have crossed the line.
Someone else pointed out, how much authority can she maintain when she is available for her own soldiers to spank the monkey to for 4.99 a minute.
Do you not see the conflict of interest and the way it opens the door to sexual innuendo, harrassment, solicitation etc?
I’m not judging her for her lifestyle, just her lack of judgement in not keeping her “moonlighting” more discreet.
LOL! this shit is getting priceless! we’re doomed if don’t get pro-active.
She is lucky that she is still being retained in the Guard.
Hey, no fair! I know of a drilling reservist who was a porn star in her day job– as long as she did that on her own time and (until a certain Supreme Court ruling) what she did was legal in her state, no problem!
Actually, Anonymous – it was unlawful under the UCMJ the whole time. The recent court decision merely affirmed that.
She just either got lucky and stayed “under the radar” (or got cut a break by her chain of command) until recently.
@12-Hmmm In the ARMY (maybe not in the guard) you can get in trouble for having long hair, using your cell phone on post while getting gas, being overweight, not running fast enough, having your hands in your pockets, not cutting your lawn at your post housing… and now let’s just toss in “doing porn” as well. It is not a job, no matter how much they try to make it…it is a way of life that one VOLUNTEERS for.
Weak argument…but maybe it is different for the guard, although she was a full-timer. You (guard) want to be treated as equals, then you pull this off-duty crap. Again WEAK!
@16: Yep, I knew a guy in my Company that moonlighted as a male stripper. Of course, that was before the age of the interwebs (Algore hadn’t gotten it perfected, yet) and if it’s out there floating in cyberspace, you can guarantee that someone you know will eventually see it. For military personnel, that’s not a good thing, especially if you’re an NCO or Officer.
@6, of course she wasnt doing it in uniform, the uniform, or any clothing for that matter, gets in the way! hahah anywho, conduct unbecoming sounds pretty appropriate here. even if it didnt cause problems in the unit, lets say she is deployed and some haji recognizes her. you know the interwebz thingy is world wide right? how would that reflect on the Army as a whole? the Army is a full time job. not a 40 hour a week full time, but 168 hours a week full time. anything you do while active duty is on the clock and represents the Army. doing porn, even husband sanctioned, undermines her authority in the work place, her authority in the field, and sets people up for sexual harassment claims. this woman will take a soldiers money to perform what ever acts they ask, but what if that soldier makes a comment about it at work? she files sexual harassment, but who is truly at fault?
Apparently she has no Gag reflex from my research
@28 With her, the chain of command probably cut her a break then– something about a “golf ball through a garden hose” I have a feeling.
Sean, i think you should cite your sources
I can’t even imagine how that conversation starts, “Hey Sarge, I saw a movie last night where one guy was banging you doggy style while you sucked another guys dick….how much does that kind of work pay and do they let you shower at the job site afterwards?”
That’s got to be great for unit integrity….geez what the h3ll is going on these days?
Guard Sergeant’s comments perfectly reflect a me-first, me-only view that is bereft of a moral base and any semblance of decency. The mistake he or she is making is found in the notion that the only measure of acceptability is whether a particular action does harm to another individual. And, of course, such a measure overlooks the harm one does to an organization or a community, let alone to society itself. Sluts and whores are nothiong new to the world What is relatively new is the notion that whoring and sluthood are nobody’s business by the whore’s or slut’s.
NCOs are supposed to be beacons of integrity, morally upright, and people their subordinates can look to with respect.
If any of her subordinates saw her online offerings, how could it not significantly impair their ability to respect her? We are not supposed to be a bunch of damned degenerates, for the commenter that seems to believe in the laissez faire approach to moral leadership. Sexual mischief leads to a whole lot of trouble for troops.
If one thinks that’s too Puritanical (and I say tough s**t, thank G-d you’re not in charge of the military), there’s another component that’s immediately obvious: full-time Guard is just like the active duty military in that moonlighting is subject to command approval. If she did not seek command approval, she’s probably in violation of some DA or state DMVA guidance, and is very lucky the loss of her AGR job is all she suffered. I did part time programming while I was Title 10 for GWOT in the Guard a couple of years ago, and I went through all the appropriate channels to get approval for that, and if the military would have said no, I would abide by the rules, because, after all, it was what I affirmed I would do.
If she’s a technician, that part of it is a civilian job full-time. Many states have unions for their full-time civilian technicians in the Guard. You are still required to wear your uniform to work because you must be a M-day member of the Guard to hold that full-time position.
@38
She was AGR..not Tech
@15 EXACTLY
…forgot to add that I literally did laugh out loud when reading your comment. Your comment most likely wasn’t done for humor but regardless, nicely done.
Heh, “drilling” reservist.
The Guard got it wrong. She should be either in or out. If the offense applied to her full time NCO position then it should equally apply to her part time NCO position. Regardless, her web site is closed and Jonn, you have an obligation to post at least a couple of the offending pictures so your readers can reach their own conclusion.
68W58: this certainly gives a new twist to the old stories about troops getting screwed . . . .
Re: the Facebook comments. The photo posted by the Tacoma News-Tribune was from 2003; BDUs were still in use then. And that’s also plenty of time to go from SP4 to SSG by 2013.
Bottom line: that indeed could be a photo of the former Amy Seitz, now Amy Weidner.
The comments section of the article is a sad indicator on the current state of education and ethics in the United States….too many weak minded fools breeding and increasing the stupidity quotient of the general population….
@44 Perhaps the young woman had BOHICA tattooed on her ass….at least for her it would be a literal statement instead of a figurative comment…
Hondo-Ranger Up could feature her in their next video as the female Blue Falcon (with her catch phrase being “cock-aw”).
68W58: sounds good to me. Might want to contact Ranger-Up with that suggestion!
she should’ve done lesbian porn, then she could’ve screamed about discrimination
I wish I could find a picture of her.
