Moments admin reveals himself at AUSA"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the men behind a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2018\/11\/20\/marines-in-afghanistan-take-down-social-media-account-over-operational-security-concerns\/\" target=_blank>Facebook page<\/a> that has struck fear into the hearts of commanders everywhere came out from behind the screen during a panel Monday at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/ausa\/\" target=_blank>Army\u2019s biggest annual conference<\/a>, in Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Retired Sgt. Maj. Kenneth Ramos, also known as @WTFIOguy, is a former psychological operations soldier and the voice of Sergeant\u2019s Time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve been told that we\u2019re oath-breakers or it\u2019s against Army values and norms,\u201d Ramos said of feedback on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2019\/09\/24\/slides-showing-high-failure-rates-on-new-fitness-test-are-not-official-cimt-documents-officials-say\/\" target=\"_blank\"> W.T.F.<\/a>, which rose to fame with viral posts from soldier submissions of the funniest and, sometimes, more ugly parts of serving in the Army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But they also post calls to action for veterans in need, he added, and work behind the scenes to help soldiers through some of the issues they find too sensitive for publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And he shared the page\u2019s origin story: The original Army W.T.F. Moment happened during an Afghanistan deployment, as original members watched a soldier chase a goat with an M-4 rifle slung around its body across their forward operating base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maj. Megan Jantos, an Army information officer who runs the <a href=\"https:\/\/fromthegreennotebook.com\/\" target=_blank>From the Green Notebook<\/a> blog, moderated the panel, joined onstage by 1st Lt. Kelsey Cochran, a former artilleryman and current public affairs officer known on Twitter as @LadyLovesTaft, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DoctrineMan\/\" target=_blank>Doctrine Man<\/a>, retired Col. Steve Leonard, and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/patdonahoearmy?lang=en\" target=_blank>Brig. Gen. Pat Donahoe<\/a>, deputy commanding general of operations for 8th Army in South Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The message: If leaders want to tell the Army\u2019s story, be available to their troops and have their fingers on what\u2019s going on in the force, they need to get online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen they\u2019re not there, [soldiers] are going to look for other people who claim to be leaders, but might not be providing the best example,\u201d Leonard, who started tongue-in-cheek Doctrine Man web comic in 1999, told Military Times in a Friday phone interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you\u2019re not out there, then you\u2019re not really engaging in the same way that most of your people do,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if they see themselves portrayed in a way they don\u2019t like, they have the opportunity to set the record straight, Donahoe said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDoes that apply to me? Does that apply to my unit?\u201d he said. \u201cArmy W.T.F. does that for us in spades. There\u2019s absolutely nothing wrong with it. They\u2019re just a medium for that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">W.T.F. and dozens of other accounts provide a \u201ctelescope\u201d directly into formations, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd often, all W.T.F. does is put up a photograph,\u201d he said. \u201cIf this is your unit and you don\u2019t agree with it, then fix it. If you agree with it, defend it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But participating in social media doesn\u2019t have to mean engaging directly with the public, Donahoe said, at least not at first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI went into social media solely for the professional development piece of it,\u201d told Military Times in a Thursday phone interview. &#8220;When I was going to Afghanistan, I sent out a note and said, \u2018Who should I follow if I\u2019m going to Afghanistan?\u2019 &#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another Korea-based leader, U.S. Forces Korea commander Gen. Robert Abrams, has set the standard for senior leadership on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think people think it\u2019s a very high-threat environment,\u201d Donahoe said. \u201cI think it\u2019s a very low-threat environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rules are simple, he said: Stay in your lane, and don\u2019t get into fights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s the same prohibitions we have on public speaking. I\u2019m not going to air my political views. I\u2019m not going to comment on a political decision by the president,\u201d he said, and if a private first class starts flaming him, \u201cI\u2019m not there personally with him, so I can just stop. I just don\u2019t respond.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For her part, Cochran takes a more personal tack on Twitter, broadcasting her daily musings on life as a junior officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019d also say that I\u2019m a thinking person, and I share the level of detail I\u2019m comfortable sharing,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite criticism and threats \u2015 from \u201cruining\u201d her career all the way to death \u2015 she said, the positives outweigh the negatives in her efforts to humanize service members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI didn\u2019t know people in the Army could be cool,\u201d is one of her favorite bits of feedback, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That kind of discussion should be cultivated, Leonard told Military Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat you don\u2019t want to, and this is the danger we run into, that leaders would immediately jump onto social media and start turning it into a punitive space, or a censored space,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal should be to help the next generation learn how productively to craft their thoughts, he added, not censor them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DogFaceSoldier\/status\/1182263410848911361\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/DogFaceSoldier\/status\/1182263410848911361<\/a><\/blockquote><\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the administrators of U.S. Army W.T.F.
