The 1SG Moerk chronicles

| January 1, 2015

Folks have been sending the link to the Army Times article about the dust up of the ARCOM for 1SG Moersk, 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.

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;

Katrina Moersk Soldier Betty Blog shit

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).

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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”.

That Guy

In other words, she’s proven pretty much the worst things said about her to be true. Dishonest, petty, attention grubbing, blue falcon…
Ca-caw

Solaris

Future Sergeant Major of the Army, right there.

rb325th

My initial impressions hold. Self serving, manipulative, and not an NCO whom I would enjoy working for or with. Had one like her for a few years as a 1sg. I modeled my own leadership style, the polar opposite of his.

Redacted1775

Had a Company Gunny once who was just about the same; basically carried himself as an over the top cartoon character version of his former self. Everyone sets an example, some of what not to do and how not to act.

H1

Unless she has a very “awkward” smile the million watt smirk in the photo says it all.

PavePusher

Meh, no-one ever looks good in those photos. Plenty to criticize her for without going there.

propsguy

Because the Pentagon, GO s and the Sgt. Major of the frikkin United States Army have nothing better to do than respond to E Mails from little miss thing.

Joe

Apparently she is the most important 1st SGT EVER. Like has been mentioned already, everyone in a leadership role provides an example whether they know it or not. Shame she decided to be the “What not to do” version.

H1

Jonn, she she found “success” with the cc echelons above reality model expect a call/email from Ms Jarrett.

H1

“since she”
Stupid Kindle Sype.

ROCK8

The sad part of this story is that the generals acted on her cc. They should have read it and then quickly pushed it back down to be dealt with.

I think it’s time to thin the heard of general/flag officers again so that they’re too busy to stick their nose every place they’re invited.

RunPatRun

Agreed, and SMA Chandler recently came out and posted support of her action on his Facebook page. Understanding the SMA can’t come out and now say it was a dumb thing to do, silence would have sent a better message than reaffirming support for troling and jumping the chain of command.

Laughing Wolf

Is anyone really surprised that Chandler supported her actions in violating chain of command? Zampolits love their stukatch.

Instinct

Since I understand she is such a delicate little snowflake all I will say is that I hope she gets what she so richly deserves.

Ex-PH2

She is getting it, Instinct.

She’s having her very own meltdown.

Instinct

Karma, as they say, is a real bitch, but probably doesn’t have as big of ears as the 1SG there.

Enigma4you

My 2 cents,

I have read everything I could possibly find on the 1st Sgt. as well as everything she has written and posted in public.

She has some real anger issues. She has admitted thst she used to be a “Party Girl” early in her career. She has also said that she is harder on female soldiers than male ones.

she has eluded to being raped while still a party girl.

She says she knew the video was satire but was in poor taste.

She has called her self a soldiers soldier, has said there is nothing left to learn as an nco.

I suspect she has multiple accounts and we have met a few of her personnas in the face book comments.

Her husband is a foreign national ( Norway I think) who is a veteran of his own countries military, but is now a dependent on ours. She talks about the many doctors he has had to see and all of the drugs he has had to take.

My bet is she was at max stress and angry , she has been lashing out for months and the post here was the straw that made her snap.

I feel sorry for her, she is in way over her head and struggling. She is a combat vet and seemed to have been a pretty good soldier.

her head got to big

Redacted1775

“She has called her self a soldiers soldier, has said there is nothing left to learn as an nco.”

Emotional instability aside, she’s doing it wrong.

Bill

And she’s modest, too. /sarc

Looks like the Peter Principle has worked its magic once again. Up now, out next with max disappointment in the civilian world of reality.

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Special snowflakes don’t take adice easily … they believe that they melt at a slower rate!

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

She called her self, “a soldiers soldier and there is nothing left to learn as an nco.”

I say, “get the ef out of the military NOW …you are a great risk to sound leadership, good order and dicipline.”

Eric

“She has called her self a soldiers soldier, has said there is nothing left to learn as an nco.”

First, I’d be curious to hear what her opinion of a Soldier’s Soldier is.

Secondly, any NCO that thinks they have “nothing” left to learn should be on their way to outprocessing that same day. No matter what all you’ve done and how many troops you’ve led, tomorrow is another learning experience.

Murphy dictates that you will hit an unknown when you aren’t ready for it. Though i think this recent situation might be her “Murphy’s response to your unknown” moment, Katrina.

Lastly, what Chandler thinks at this point is irrelevant. He is a double (maybe single) digit midget as SMA. Though he’s the same guy who went to Congress and said “please cut our personnel budget!”

CWORet

A Soldier’s Soldier, huh. I’d like to award that that to Army Sgt. 1st Class Alwyn Cashe.

A Soldier’s Soldier.
A Marine’s Marine.
America’s American.
A man I couldn’t hold a candle to.
A man I wished I’d met and shook hands with. Yea, that’s who I would nominate. Sorry, E8 Moerk. You missed the point somewhere along the way…

Instinct

I’ll bet dollars to doughnuts that if she was ever pulled over by the MP’s for speeding on base her first statement was “Do you see these stripes?”

I had that happen a few times with senior enlisted types that thought since I was an E-4 at the time that they could order me to let them go.

Yeah, real special snowflakes there.

Ex-344MP

I always made sure the tickets got extra heavy, when I was doing L&O at Sill, to those who tried to pull rank on me, the lonely corporal MP.

When they tried to do it at the gate, General Officers always seemed to be the offenders, Their car just came up for the random searches we needed to log in for 9 in shift.

🙂 I really enjoyed my time as an MP.

Ohh and 1st. Sgt, thank you demeaning the award I got at the end of my tour for performing my job.

Crusty

I briefly skimmed over her blog when it was up. I stumbled upon a story in it where she was describing how a HMMWV “fell” into gear. At that point my BS meter pegged out and I did not have to read anything else. I see a pattern.

RunPatRun

Smart move on her part to disengage, no comment on the Army Times article, blog private, twitter account gone, etc. While the internet is forever, some latest WTF news will soon take over.

A comment on FB may have captured how this went down. The 1SG, furious over the way things were going on FB contacted SHARP in the hope of initiating a command climate survey. Things took off from there, with Big Army deciding to use her as an example. I wonder who thought the award, and pushing it out in the news was a good idea? That person has a LOT to learn about perceptions, the internet/social media, and how things go viral.

And yes, based on her comments of ‘stupid’ ‘asshat’ etc; and how the 1SG reacted on her blog and twitter, there is little doubt she trolled the trolls. And then contacted the SHARP Director. Next time, if she returns to social media, she should try this:

http://www.military-quotes.com/media/data/605/medium/258Troll_spray.jpg

And print out this post and tape it to her monitor: http://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=57421

Instinct

I think she would have an allergic reaction to the troll spray.

RunPatRun

Good point. Probably have to be at MOPP4 to use the spray without cross contamination.

CLAW131

Forget the entrenching tool, she is now using a back hoe to dig the hole that her career may end up in. Hopefully she will enjoy her upcoming move to CIF as the Woobie inventory control manager. Oh,wait, do they even issue CTA 50-900 items at Fort Meade? The new tournament is a year away and she is for sure leading the pack out of the gate. Maybe Big Army will revisit implementing the Spec8/Spec9 ranks for careerists like this who should never ever be given troops to take care of.

Bill

She’ll be assigned to CYBERCOM imminently as Troll Control Manager.

SJ

She’s off to a great start to be the Bernath of the 2015 tournament.

A Proud Infidel®™

It looks like she’s already heading that way at full throttle !!!

Richard

Some people, when shown a goal, instinctively go for it.

Perhaps the ARCOM just didn’t do it for her but a Blue Falcon dangly thing would complete her ensemble.

Animal

Is she eligible for the tournament since she hasn’t technically stolen valor? I think the argument could be made that she’s stealing the valor of 1st Sgt’s and SNCO’s in general who have given her the credibility of a 1st Sgt. They built the house, she’s just living in it.

streetsweeper

Sorry, SJ. There can only be one “Bernath”, the shitbird that won the tournament. This one is “Moersk” and can only be “Moersk”…This woman would never have to worry about me being around her or her command. I’d think of something to rid myself of her presence.

2/17 Air Cav

She claims to be a victim advocate so she knows how to play the victim. She has presumably taken on the role of ferreting out those members of the military whose views do not comport with the asexual image the pentagonals have marketed heavily. How? By trolling social media for service members whose comments and views she regards as distasteful and antithetical to her own. Oh, she is quite deliberate and clever in how she couches her efforts, ever careful not to show the true nature of her interest but, instead, dressing it up for for formal presentation with Pentagon-pleasing terms. And for this she has been rewarded. She is now a victim being victimized by horrible haters. She needs protecting, this Topo Gigio looking Pollyanna.

Bill

To me she bears a resemblance to Shannon Watts. Is it just me?

2/17 Air Cav

Well, Shannon Watts’ chin is not MIA and her ears are in the same zip code as her head.

OWB

Been trying to find some sympathy for this twit, but can’t seem to manage to find any. That is still subject to change should she ever decide to simply stop digging the hole she is attempting to bury herself in and take responsibility for the mess she made for herself.

As with so many situations, it is not so much the initial mistakes (we all make them) that she made but the compounding of her errors that is hurting her now. It’s all up to her in spite of the reality that she has alienated everyone who could have helped her had she just asked instead of acting like a spoiled toddler.

Katrina: There are some gems of good advice sprinkled through all these comments. It is still possible to rehabilitate yourself if you opt to take that good advice. Probably not in the Army (you torpedoed that career all by yourself), but there are lots of happy and successful people who build good lives for themselves after military service.

Ex-PH2

She made mistakes that someone at her level should not have made, period.

I gave her the nominative ‘gloryhound’, because she seems to be so busy sticking her nose into everyone else’s business that it’s almost as if she has nothing else to do.

What point was there in dragging it out the way she did, other than to pat herself on the back and get more of that from other people? None.

streetsweeper

I may know someone that operates cathouse’s…out in Nevada that might employ her. 😎

CalVet

How about we run two competitions each year: One for the stolen valor and the other is for the biggest turd who is on active duty. We can recognize that service member who while serving our country, does their very best to screw, mislead, or other wise defame the honorable profession. We could have that one in the summer and the SV one at the end of the year?

Ex-PH2

Asshat of the Year?

They can’t run as parallells.

CalVet

Blue Falcon of the year would probably describe Moersk and people like her pretty accurately. Maybe we need to have a new name for the SV tourney?

I love when active duty d-bags get called out. Its my guilty pleasure

Climb to Glory

Shitbag tournament. By the way, she emailed CSM of the Army, Pentagon G-1 and head of the SHARP program? What the fuck are they gonna do about it. If they came after me my response would be simple: Kiss my ass I’m not in your Army anymore. Not that they would ever come after Jonn anyway. My guess is that her email straight to the trash bin.

We shouldn’t let this go. She wanted to troll and she was rewarded for it. If she wants to troll we should troll her ass back. She is not an NCO in any way, shape, or form. She is a disgrace to her rank and the United States Army.

The Texan

I second that.

And for what it’s worth, climb to glory, friend (4/10 2010-13)

Ex-PH2

I agree.

I would love to engage in a direct conversation with her CSM about some of the things she has said that are pure fabrication on her part.

I want to see that video that sparked this nonsense from her in the first place, but my guess will be that it will never surface unless she’s out of the picture.

nbcman54

“When she answered my email, she cc’d her company commander.”

So NOW she cc’s someone at Company level. I guess the General isn’t taking her emails anymore.

MustangCryppie

If I were her CC, sorry, but my attitude would be that she dug the hole, she can go occupy it.

Eric

If i were her company commander id order her to CC me on any email traffic in relation to this situation. So I’m giving her Cdr the nod on this one because he was probably smart enough to tell her that so he wouldn’t be blind sided by a 3-star.

streetsweeper

yep! Then, run her ass out the door er gate, quickly.

Ex-PH2

I am getting SO tired of people who act like this.

No, Ms. Moerk, you are NOT a victim. You brought this ridiculous tempest of ire on yourself. Get some counseling. You need it. Lying about what anyone here has said about you is a clear demonstration of your lack of maturity. You are NOT a special snowflake, but you are the personification of the Spoiled Brat Princess Snowflake.

Oooh! A new and unpleasant character for another book has been created by this drivel-spouting snothead.

Get a life, Toots. Get a life and get some counseling for your anger issues. Not everyone in the world thinks you’re nearly as wonderful as you do.

Hondo

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.

Hmm. Wonder what my schedule looks like over the next few days . . . .

NHSparky

Sadly, E-8 Moerk has not displayed 2.5 LOK, in that she did not recognize correct answer when given and continued with her asshattery.

Sucks for her, but sucks a whole lot worse for anyone who has to be anywhere near her. Her command has my sympathies.

Careful… she might take “sucks” in your statement the wrong way. 🙄

Interesting. According to this facebook page she is a Pagan. So if I call her a witch, (rhymes with bitch) am I on target?

Check out her December 9 post. It is a pic that says, “Keep Calm and Sparkle.” She really does think she’s a special little sparkle pony.

Did anyone else notice she is wearing a 101st patch on the video explaining her actions and the award photo it looks like she is wearing a Pentagon patch?

Bill

If she is wearing a Pentagon patch she HAS to be in WHS or PENREN. She’d fit right in there.

Eric

That’s her unit’s patch at Ft Meade. 704th / 741st MI

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/704th_Military_Intelligence_Brigade#741st_MI_Battalion

CLAW131

Picked up on some info from a member of her unit before the gag order went into effect. She was on levy orders for a tour to Germany upon leaving Fort Campbell but was diverted to Fort Meade to the 741st MI which is a non deployable outfit. It seems to me that she is following the career track of CSM “No Slack” Wright step by step.

Sapper3307

Try a nice read on old No Slacks Wikipedia entrees. She has spent a lot of time scrubbing any reference to her dirt bag leadership and fake college degrees. It almost sounds like she was a competent NCO that was not promoted five times above her skill level.

CLAW131

Damn, I meant CSM “No Slack” King, not Wright. Wright was the last name of the MSG/E8 Brigade S-4 NCO I replaced (as an E-7) in April 1988. He was just like Spec8 Moerk, only male. Another worthless waste of a uniform.

Green Thumb

She is an idiot.

Plain and simple.

Dear 1SG,

If you had been working for me in a joint environment, you would have been reporting to a young E-3 or E-4. One hand picked by me in an attempt to teach you the ground level basics of leadership and understanding of ones’ place in an organizational structure.

Now shut your yap, get back to work and stop violating one of the most basic tenets of sound leadership … Proper use of the chain of command!

With no regard for you,

MCPO NYC USN (Ret.)

Ouch.

That, boys and girls, is what we Navy Airdales call “a little stick and rudder” to straighten up and fly right!

Seriously, with her actions and attitude, it amazes me she ever made it past E-4.

Evah.

A Proud Infidel®™

I have no doubt she played her “EO/diversity Gender Quota Card” every chance she had. I’ve seen plenty of Females in the US Army work honestly like there’s no tomorrow to get ahead, and even they get passed over and shafted by the “HEY, LOOK AT ME, I’M MORE PC!!” types like 1Sgt. Moerk in promotions or schools.

Ex-PH2

Is she what soldiers call the E-4 Mafia? If she is, she apparently never got the setdown she should have been given.

She doesn’t like being reprimanded herself – she made that quite plain in her own blog – but she’s perfectly willing to do it to other people.

Snake personified, crapweasel – whatever you want to call her, she’s one of those poisonous people who do more to destroy morale than anything else.

Ex-344MP

No, she’s not the E-4 Mafia Ph2, but I bet she is firmly in the sights 9 them though 🙂

John Ginsberg

I admit, I have referred to 1SGT Moerk’s behavior as whoredom, because from what I see, this individual is trolling for promotion points to become a SMAJ on the backs of those idiots who do make asshats of themselves on social media. However, Moerk can do nothing about me…I’m retired, out, and there’s nothing she can do about me. However, I will state that I hope when she engaged in this program of informing on idiots for promotion points, she had the blessing of her Bn SMAJ, Company Cmdr, and/or her Bn Cmdr. Or, if she really wants someone to blame for the butthurt she’s feeling, she could blame the media outlets who published the story, or even the commissioned officers who authorized the story to be even disseminated.

Common Sense

I, as a female, am not offended by the word whore. To me the definition is someone willing to do anything for ________, not necessarily in a sexual context.

We call one of our female dogs an “attention whore” because she will go to great lengths for a belly rub. She’s also a food whore, but then, what dog isn’t.

In the case of Moerk, she seems willing to do anything for brownie points from upper management (I’m not military though my kids are). So my definition is appropriate. I really think people are like this because of their own deep-seated insecurities. Like the captain in Band of Brothers that my husband has watched over and over again. A stickler for the rules because he wasn’t competent where it counted and knew it.

Ex-PH2

That sounds a lot like someone who told me she was a ‘teaching slut’, meaning if there was anything worth teaching and a place to do it, she was there in a heartbeat because she just loved the back & forth experience between teacher and students.

I’m a story whore. If there’s a good story to listen to, I will pull up a chair and you can rattle on for hours with my undivided attention.

That word doesn’t have the unfortunate meaning it used to have, you see, unless there is something unpleasant attached to it. Taking something out of context, which is entirely what this chick did, makes it worse because the recipient of her complaint does not get the full story, but rather only her viewpoint.

It’s quite sad when someone is so desperate for approval that she will go to such a length to get it that she tramples other people in her rush to get the approval she seeks.

Hack Stone

Reminds me of my final tour in Okinawa. Our CWO was always volunteering my techs for every exercise for other commands that came along, despite them having their own comm technicians. That inspired me to coin a new phrase, “technically promiscuous”.

Eric

I have a friend who recently retired, his wife still works and he calls himself “house bitch” because of it. Fairly a funny thing that he embraces because his wife works hard and doesn’t take crap from him.

John Ginsberg

Oh, and when in the next unit climate survey, she receives a no confidence rating, she’ll know who to blame. Or even, when she is figuratively fragged, she will know she brought it on her own self. As an intel person, she should have known that publication of the story would not bring her glory. She might have lost the trust that her troops may have had for her. She has only her own behavior to blame.

MustangCryppie

“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.”

Typical senior NCO AA promotion. Promotion board has the meet the set quotas. 1SGT of what, sewing and knitting company? So happy I am retired.

ArmyLady

How did she even become a 1SGT in the first place? She lacks the core values of a true NCO.

All I see is a whiny, bitchy woman who had nothing better to do than to monitor youtube/chat room and try to make a name for herself.

She is a disgrace to the women in uniform. I was a NCO and who never acted like this woman did.

She needs to get a grip on reality and learn how to be a true NCO!

Ex-Ph2

Thank you!

Can we get more of us women like this to chime in?

ArmyLady

Be nice if other women who recognize that she is a poor excuse for a NCO. 1SGT Moerk needs to be demoted and a good ass chewing on what the core of values are! Women like her do not give us a good name!
I live and still live by the core values. .soilder’s like her shouldn’t be allowed to wear the uniform. .which is a privilege to wear!

A Proud Infidel®™

I’m sure that Army 1SG Moerk is lurking and copying what she wants to from this site and others, thus I wish her another Army day, and I still pity her subordinates, the Males know she’ll throw any of them under the bus the moment she thinks it’ll result in political gain for her, ditto with any Male Personnel on the same Post as her, PERIOD!!

[…] her responsibility in the backlash (legitimate backlash, not threats, if there were any). She corresponded with Jonn from This Ain’t Hell after he had the class and integrity to drop her an email. What transpired confirms everything I […]

Nicki

As a former Army NCO, I’m really ashamed of this. She lacks the maturity of her rank, and has proven the many criticisms against her to be absolutely legitimate.

This saddens me, because I’ve seen this lead to a number of comments impugning women in uniform as a general rule, and that hurts me as a veteran and as the proud parent of a female Marine.

Laughing Wolf

^^^^^This^^^^^ Agree fully.

Old Trooper

I don’t look at it from the standpoint of her being a woman. There are many women NCOs that outstanding (my recruiter was a woman and she and I stayed friends for many years after I joined). There are, also, many shitbag male NCOs, who are just like Moerk.

I look at it from the standpoint of leadership and that’s where she shits the bed.

Crusty

And still through all of this the original video and comments are a mystery. I don’t put a lot of stock in her account of anything after seeing the inconsistencies that have been pointed out by John.

B Woodman

Her name reminds me of anything spoken by the Muppets Swedish Chef.

Rubik's Pube

This whole thing has gotten even bigger. As a sideshow to this circus, some folks have decided to go to war with SMA Chandler via Facebook on the U.S. Army WTF moments page. I hope whoever it is has a DD-214 because it’s going to get ugly. I’m sure the majority of the people commenting are out of the service, but it really seems like people are finally boiling over and just lashing out at the SMA. https://www.facebook.com/usawtfm/posts/10152987759633606
Here is the original post, he actually responded to it with some “I can’t recall” bullshit and passive aggressive rock, paper, rank posturing.

Holy sheetsnacks

I changed my name for this post because there are people out there trying to track down every active member that says something derogatory about her.

Someone mentioned above that she said she was a party girl early in her career.

I didn’t recognize the name Moerk, but then realized I knew her I knew from school in Huachuca under her old name, Pressley. I can tell you ‘party girl’ is one hell of a understatement.

And be warned, her company commander is pretty active on the internet and has already shut down online discussions on this subject by threatening to tattle to higher with the names of people involved. ar15.com

Okay, sweetpea,but I’ve been out of the Navy longer than you’ve been alive, as have a lot of people here, so just what is her company commander going to do to me? Or to anyone else here? Huh?

I’ll be more than happy to have a one-on-one discussion up close and in person with her company commander so that I can tell him exactly what I think of idiots like him wasting my tax money by spying on AD soldiers.

If you want to convey that message to him, be my guest. If he’s tracking down people to tattle on them, he’s no better than she is.

Not like they can send us to sea and take away our birthdays.

Ex-Ph2 was in the old Navy that was so tough, even the women had beards and could kick your ass…

Hack Stone

But those beards were “south of the Equator”.

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

That is NOT true. The few women who could grow beards were made to shave their ugly little mugs daily!

And that is the truth!

Except for those who worked in the D-Fac/Mess Hall.

I’m sure the internet is plenty worried with an O3 taking names.

Eric

Well, realize that this whole thing is about an E-8 who took names, to the pentagon. I’m quite sure her commander is watching intently to cover his own ass on this situation.

Hey!!! No need to get kinky!

Ex-PH2

And let me add here that I will be more than happy to have someone with a smartphone video the entire thing so that it can be immediately released to the internet for review.

In fact, as a taxpayer, I demand this encounter. Put up or shut up.

propsguy

And now THAT begs the question, WTF is her toad of a CO not doing to run his/her company that they have time to track down people talking shit on the internet about the E8 in question.

Does anybody in that useless MI company actually do any fucking work? or do they Just sit around and troll the internet.

Hey Captian, my name is Richard Hertz Army National GUard. Track me down!

Bitch!

Duncan McDonut

She aint no Kelly Flynn. At least that harpy wench STFU and disappeared quietly.

Escalating when there are skeletons in the closet is not a good idea.

Twist

Even when I was active duty I was not scared of what an O-3 thought. S/he can kiss my retired ass.

OIF '06-'07-'08

My MSO was completed way back in 1990, screw them all regarding this sorry ass excuse for an NCO, let alone an E-9.

OIF '06-'07-'08

Damn, E-8.

Eric

A guy I know made a couple comments to that FB thing on Doctrine Man, but using a fake jumble as a last name. He said he had it that way for a bunch of years and all of a sudden, a day or two after posting about her, FB logged him out and gave him an alert that he had to put his real name on there. So it seems someone reported his posted “fake” name, probably to get him to change it to his real name so they could crawl up his ass. I’m guessing he’s not the only one.

I’m going to take a stab that there are a lot of eyes watching this situation very closely on FB which is why anyone who’s still in the Army needs to be superbly careful about this and use of their real name, affiliation to the Army. (Granted anyone with a DD214 can talk to their heart’s content)

I have an “Army” FB page that I barely use because its my official page, but its for Army business. Then I have my personal one that’s no one’s business but mine and friends. Why? So I can say what I want as a US Citizen. Though for a couple more years I wouldn’t ID myself as a republican, conservative, etc., on it because the IRS and NSA have their ways…

I’ve been a civilian since before she made PFC. Ditto her CC.

Fuck em and feed em fish heads.

This is from the Ranger Up article:
‘Were rules broken, yes? Are soldiers expected to be held to the standard at all times, yes? Are we at the day and age when a senior enlisted has time to troll the internet to find soldiers getting out of line and calling them on it, oh my god? An NCO calling out their own soldiers, I can accept that. Calling out, tracking down and finding information to start an investigation on soldiers in three different commands? If you are a senior NCO on the web trolling, who the fuck is doing your job while you are on the internet fishing for medals?’

This, and the backstabbing behavior which she is engaging in every time she complains now (it’s all THEIR fault), and her refusal to accept even constructive criticism do not bode well for her as a supervisor in a civilian job, or even as an employee.

There are good bosses and bad bosses and I’ve worked for both. The good ones let you know quietly when you’re not doing your best job and the bad bosses will trash you and threaten you with being fired or worse. If you have a complaint about a co-worker and you address the co-worker in person, but nothing changes after you’ve tried several times to solve the problem you go to your boss. Most of the time, even that isn’t necessary, but you still follow the chain of command.

What this dumb broad did is the equivalent of going to the CEO of the company and whining on his/her desk. Unless you’re the CEO’s secretary or assistant, that will really make you look worse than bad.

My guess is that this silly cow thinks she’s immune to the rules, that they don’t really apply to her because of her rank. Sorry, chickie baby, they apply to everyone, especially to you.

Flagwaver

By her spouting lies about what was said on this blog shows that she has no integrity. It sounds as if she is trying to drum up support for her WoeIsMe party to try and get bad people to stop saying bad things about her.

Why else would she contact the SMA, Pentagon G-1, and SHARP to try and complain about a veteran’s MilBlog? Sure, they might be able to slam the peepee of current service members in the drawer, but what will they do to vets? If they try anything with retirement or benefits, then the media backlash will make sure that any political dreams (or current power) are slammed in that very drawer along with any exterior sexual organs.

The Other Whitey

Well, it seems pretty obvious how she got her stripes. Based on her behavior since this came out, it appears that she’s awfully confident about the quality of her blowjobs.

I almost peed myself..lol..good one!

Moerk is the epitome of what happens when people are promoted and put into command positions too soon, I work with Bulldog1 at Guardian of Valor and am figuring she probably tried to get him in the middle because he is still in uniform, therefore she may be able to “whine” to some higher ups to make him shoot the “boogieman”, the whole deal makes me sick, instead of wasting time policing the world wide web, she should be busy mentoring Soldiers directly under her influence, instead of getting chapped over some asinine video placed on Facebook, to which I am not defending, but unless it was sent directly to her, she has the option that everyone else has..click off and don’t watch. In today’s world, thanks to lax social being, nudity, sexual innuendo and plain old embarrassing videos are out there, like it or not MSG Moerk, freedom of speech and expression is still covered under the Constitution, so therefore your petty complaints are moot, if you let one video crank your emotions that much (as you admitted on the video posted by Army times) then you have no business leading Soldiers!! Yes sir, trolling is exactly what she did, and for a 1SG to stoop to the level of a teenager just tarnishes the rank, as well as the US Army, not to mention an ARCOM, which should of been a relief for cause instead. Fortunately I am retired and your “rank pulling” CoC jumping ways have nil effect on me, to stoop to trying to police the net, other commands Soldiers, and I dare say civilians as you did deserves no award, it deserves to be investigated for Fraud , waste and abuse, if videos on Facebook and YouTube offend you so greatly as to have you start calling all forms of Chain of Command or concern into this, then watch out Rodney Carrington, MSG Moerk will have you skinned alive for your “titties and beer” video!!

This is in response to Kyle Wagner’s FB posting above (I can’t seem to get my posting to “take”)

“Guess it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.”

“. . . . it’s who you blow.”
There, fixed it for ya.

OIF '06-'07-'08

With how the ME terror groups are becoming even more ruthless in their holy jihad, I hope that this waste of a 1SG never has to come face to face with ISIS/ISL or any of the other groups that have reared their ugly heads in the last two years.

Old Trooper

I can’t even get indignant enough to give her a proper harrumph, anymore. She just isn’t that special. I saw her type when I was in and they all had the same qualities she has been displaying.
