Navy launches review of Marines' and sailors' personal social media posts [View all]

Navy Secretary John Phelan has announced a review into whether sailors’ and Marines’ social media posts have been “misaligned” with official guidance.

The Department of the Navy is looking into whether sailors’ and Marines’ social media posts have violated the department’s social media guidance, according to a recent message from Navy Secretary John Phelan.

“At the direction of the Secretary of the Navy, the DON [Department of the Navy] is actively reviewing reports related to Service Members social media activity that is misaligned with the DON’s current social media guidance,” according to the Oct. 24 “All Navy” message. “The guidance remains in full effect, and we are committed to upholding the highest standards of conduct. Service members are expected to uphold Navy and Marine Corps core values on duty, off duty, and online.”

The message does not specify what exactly prompted the review, or how sailors’ and Marines’ social media posts may have been “misaligned” with official guidance.

Navy officials did not provide a statement for this story due to the ongoing federal government shutdown.
