P.C. Army DSS SGM Fired For Cause
2012-01-04
The Command Sergeant Major of the U.S. ArmyÂ’s Drill Sergeant School (DSS) has been suspended from duty and the Army is working overtime to smother the story.

An investigative report by militarycorruption.com (MCC) has uncovered the story Army brass would love to keep secret. According to MCC which specializing in exposing stories about our military the mainstream media and official channels wonÂ’t talk about, the Command Sergeant Major of the ArmyÂ’s Drill SergeantÂ’s School (DSS) Teresa King has been charged with a variety of violations of Army regulations.

Sergeant Major Teresa King is an African American who will by 50 years old this year. She is has been divorced, has no children and has been in the Army for 31 years. Upon taking command of the DSS on September 22, 2009 King became the first female ever to hold that position.

On paper Sergeant Major King sounds like an ideal soldier and well qualified to be in such an important slot in the Army’s training structure. Nevertheless, once the “paper” is turned over questions about why she was selected abound.

Reports from MCCÂ’s on the ground correspondents say KingÂ’s suspension from duty was prompted by her heavy drinking, sexual relationship with a lower ranking enlisted soldier and perhaps worst of all the fact that at least one of the college degree she listed on her resume is from a schools deemed to be diploma mill.

#6  SHAPE Belgium is where the ROAD (Retired On Active Duty) people go. This person looks to have been a professional career punch-list gatherer, one promoted for her gender and not her competence.

#5  8) Should be 1SG.

Defense Security Assistance Agency is now called "...Cooperation Agency", which is basically a military foreign aid org.

The only people I ever met who were assigned to NATO (SHAPE) had horribly fouled up somewhere. It was a dead end for those the army was too embarrassed with to prosecute.

#4  Her resume is "suck". A list of duty assignments:

1) Postal Clerk in the 139th Postal Co.
2) Drill Sgt., 5th Battalion, 3rd BCT.
3) Admin. Asst. to Chief of Staff of the Army.
4) Admin. Asst. to the Director of Defense Security Assistant Agency (DSAA).
5) Senior Enlisted Advisor, DSAA.
6) Assigned to 18th Personnel Service BN.
7) 1SG, 19th AG (Postal) at Camp Casey, Korea.
8) 1DG HHQ, XVIII Airborne Corps.
9) BN CSM, NATO (SHAPE), Belgium.
10) BN CSM, 369 AG BN, Fort Jackson.

That's it, prior to becoming CSM of DSS.

#3  Sadly, another case of melanin trumping merit so the percentages reflect proportionality without the need for equivalence. (Think it through)
