National Guard soldier suspended over ‘distasteful’ military funeral photos and comments
WASHINGTON — A Wisconsin National Guard servicemember who posted controversial photos and comments regarding military funerals on social media, including one photo caption that read, ‘We put the FUN in [military] funerals — your fearless honor guard from various states’, has been suspended pending the outcome of an ongoing investigation, the Wisconsin National Guard said in a press release Tuesday.
The photos and comments appeared on the Instagram page of Spc. Terry Harrison, a member of the Madison, Wis.-based 1st Battalion, 147th Aviation Regiment. Harrison has since been removed from the funeral honors detail indefinitely, according to the Wisconsin National Guard.

What does "suspended" mean? If it is "suspended" from performing funeral details (which is what I bet it is), not even a slap on the wrist

My thoughts exactly. Civilians will think she is getting punished but in reality she is in the NG and has a day job. Guess what she just keeps doing her day job......
What a bullshit news release.
What about the others in the photo?
What about the CoC that were overseeing the training ?

Sir, I am Appalled!!!!! :-(
WTF to this chick? Excuse me, I was watching this for an example to give my employees on what NOT to do, and the results!
Whatever the outcome, I hope that you PIECE OF SHIT who started this whole thing get deployed. I hope you get sent to the ass fucking smelliest place on this planet, and are alone.
Then, when you are all alone, you may feel what it is like to serve and DIE for this Country! It is an Honor bitch, and one you will never ever know.

I think all that story means is she was "suspended" from Honor Guard Duties pending the "outcome of the investigation". Unless you guys think they should keep her on the detail until the investigation is over? The suspension is the absolute correct thing to do...at least until due process runs its course and the beheading takes place.

It's like Atlanta-Hertzfield out here already.
Maybe I need to clarify...removing/suspending/reassigning...whatever the terminology, it is a correct step. I didn't infer it's the end and it's all good now. I was actually pointing out that this suspension was NOT the end. Keeping her in her current position on the detail would be a suicidal move by the CoC. As far as the speed of things... Heck, the lawyers hardly have had enough time to dust off their copy of the MCM to determine all of the allegations/charges yet. Surely no one wants the IO to rush off and do a half assed job resulting in this Idiot getting off on a technicality.

Haha, a suspension in the National Guard... you don't get paid except for a weekend a month and two weeks a year unless you're on orders. It's like when starting pitchers get suspended for three games in MLB... they'll be back by their next scheduled start.

Ultimately
she should get booted from the WI NG and lose all those education and other bennies. The difference between that AF cluster and is that the average person in WI is just as pissed as you are. I don't care if they were "blowing off steam", sometimes your sole purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others. Head on a pike stuff.

I look at that picture and it reminds me of the Abu Ghraib fotos! The lack of leadership and maturity led to that problem and it looks like no one has learned the REAL learning point of that situation. Joes need supervision. If you want an honor guard without these problems, assign a senior NCO or an officer to supervise.
I can't tell you the number of times I saw that practice casket in the company hallway and thanked God I didn't get tapped for that detail because I never thought myself worthy to hold the handle of a fellow Green Hatter, that died to protect his fellow team mates! The details were always led by one of the team sergeants and an officer even when every member was a senior NCO in SF! I don't like funerals or memorial services because I have to confront the death of a friend/colleague and my own mortality but at every freakin moment of my life have I shown respect for the dead! Especially the people that sacrificed their lives so that my life, freedoms, and way of life may be protected!!!!!
Hell, I even respected the deaths of my enemies more than these tools respect their fellow soldiers deaths!
Not Happy!

I read that as she was suspended from the Honor Guard only and not from duty....They should put them on legal hold at the reserve center/armory and make them report everyday for shit duty....
