Recriminations & Reprimands: Showing Some Skin Just Not Enough -- Military.com
So, Shannon didn’t win the Hometown Hotties 2011 contest from Maxim magazine, but she did arouse a lot of commentary, professional cynosure and a few sexist cheap shots about her being in the contest at all.
Shannon is an active duty Marine NCO, and although she didn’t appear in uniform apparently a lot of people (to be fair, most of them we’ve heard from are military personnel of the male persuasion) believe she was out of line and should be NJPed. We’re not convinced. Conduct unbecoming an NCO? Hardly. Sgt. Matt Simmons (and frankly we have a very hard time using the rank) got away with a lot worse.
