Country: | Staff sergeant relieved of duties... ....after posing for Playboy
An Air Force staff sergeant who posed nude for Playboy magazine has been relieved of her duties while the military investigates, officials said Thursday.
In February's issue, hitting newsstands this week, Michelle Manhart is photographed in uniform yelling and holding weapons under the headline "Tough Love."
The following pages show her partially clothed, wearing her dog tags while working out, as well as completely nude.
"This staff sergeant's alleged action does not meet the high standards we expect of our airmen, nor does it comply with the Air Force's core values of integrity, service before self, and excellence in all we do," Oscar Balladares, spokesman for Lackland Air Force Base, said in a statement.
Manhart told Playboy that she considers herself as standing up for her rights.
"Of what I did, nothing is wrong, so I didn't anticipate anything, of course," Manhart, 30, told The Associated Press. "I didn't do anything wrong, so I didn't think it would be a major issue."
Manhart, who is married with two children, joined the Air Force in 1994, spending time in Kuwait in 2002. She trains airmen at Lackland.

Country: | Good - that's completely unprofessional, and if she doesn't realize that she did something wrong, which is reportedly what she said, then she has no business being a SNCO in the US armed forces.

Country: | i think she's cute at the very least, the only thing i can see being wrong is the fact she did it with regards to the military, the dog tags etc, if she'd done it without mentioning the military i wouldn't see the problem with it.........

As a Staff NCO, she has airmen that are responsible to her for the performance of their duties. Imagine the breakdown of good order and discipline, particularly to those under her, after an incident like that. It does not matter whether she did it w/ dog tags or not. She knew that was not allowed. Everyone in the military does. She's playing a game out of it now.
