Coast Guard Social Media Still Likes a Good Love Story
November 21, 2009 | Virginia | Vetting explained
From the www.CoastGuardReport.org
A comment left on Wednesday's Eight O'Clock Reports reminded us that Coast Guards Social Medial policies, and good order and discipline policy for Auxiliarist (or lack of) continue to converge on many Coast Guard supported sites. We published two posts earlier this month on Coast Guard Auxiliarist Nick Chaleunphone: Coast Guard Supported Website Introduces us to Intersex and Can Coast Guard Auxilliarist – Any Requirements to Represent the U.S. Coast Guard?
Please know we didn't forget we that we said we done covering the Kamododragon as Nick refers to himself. That's not really what this post is about. Since we first carried this story, several Coast Guard Blogs have deleted Nick's websites from their links list. LT Ryan Erickson's site is one of those that no longer carriers the Kamododragon. Some others do, including CGBlog.
It is the position of this Blog that anyone can link to anything they or anyone they want, but we wonder if it crosses the line with Blogs that purport to further mission of the United States Coast Guard link to site that discuss the sex life of the writer. Last night, the Kamododragon had this to say on his site:
I can say that yes I lost myself twice. Once when I was in my early 20’s when I was experimenting with guys and now I lost myself to a girl with Alexis as well. At the time when I was in my early 20’s I didn’t know what I wanted in my life and I was still playing the field to find myself and define myself personally and sexually.
My guess is posts like ones found all over the Kamododragon's websites are not in keeping with Coast Guards Core Values. But before you blow this one off, you need to look hard CG-092's Social Medial policy and which Blogs they have chosen to support and market from the private sector. This site is not among them.
