Concern in the armed forces for many years. But it has come tofo the forefrt again especially with the misuse of social media to post nude photographs and unseemly conduct. On mrp 14th they issued a policy giddance in which ill quote a small portion of it. Marines represent the marine corp at all times and their speech and conduct must consistently embody or core values and commitment to each other.
