Photos Needed - Military Members in Uniform with Family

[coffeewithgames]

Hey everybody,

I'm making a video right now, and would like some photos of RP supporter military members and their families. Just a few would be nice, probably 3-4. Pictures of soldiers with their kids, and/or wives, and/or just with friends.
I would like them to be RP supporters in the photos, and I want them to be free to use for the video.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, the sooner the better.

Good luck. The military doesn't like soldiers in uniform endorsing campaigns. They don't like you doing a lot of things while in uniform,

It's not for endorsement.

It's a violation of the UCMJ for them to appear in a political video in uniform if they are active duty.

Hmmm...what about soldiers NOT in uniform though, with their families. I'll take what I can get, at least it would be soldiers if they needed to be verified.

That's a no go too technically. Probably wouldn't get them in trouble if you didn't identify them as active duty, but that doesn't help you.

From a few years back. Before we made the switch to the new camo.

this, we don't want to get them into trouble. I think in uniform is an issue even if they are reserves. The guy who spoke for Ron in Iowa was reserves and they were still looking into it.

But those are some great pictures!

It's an internet video, nothing "official", the section can be them out of uniform, just with friends and family. The script really needs them to be soldiers, and not just anybody off the street...for credibility.

I understand the marketing reasons.....it is just that if it would get them into trouble....

Maybe it wouldn't with an internet video, and I don't really know the rules, I just don't want folks here getting into trouble.

They won't be identified by name, and they don't have to be in uniform. I just need another 2-3 of RP military supporters with family and/or friends. Preferably a husband/wife, and friends...as the dad photo is now taken care of.

Military members, be familiar with the DoD Guidance on Political Activities: https://kb.defense.gov/ci/fattach/get/4371//session/L2F2LzEvdGltZS8xMzI2MzQ2NTExL3NpZC9PYVI0T1dOaw==

One of the more important parts:

4.1.1. A member of the Armed Forces on active duty may:
4.1.1.1. Register, vote, and express a personal opinion on political candidates and issues, but not as a representative of the Armed Forces.

Just for reference, is this ad okay the way it was done?

If all they are doing is posting pics of themselves then they have done nothing wrong. It's not like they posted them to be used for political gain. They have no control over them once they are out there ergo plausible deniability.

**EDIT**

To be safe it could be moved to a different discussion area...
