A soldier who has created controversy on TikTok says she was contacted by a U.S. Army Social Media Ethics officer regarding her online presence.
Army Specialist Cheyanne Rademacher, a 68C Practical Nursing Specialist, was most recently in the spotlight for a TikTok collaboration with an Army officer who has since been separated from the service.
Rumors of fraternization between the two emerged after videos surfaced showing 1LT Larcombe in what appeared to be a hotel room with Rademacher holding a bottle of champagne.
Since then, 1LT Larcombe has publicly stated that she was medically separated from the Army—not by choice—before the video was filmed.
Larcombe clarified that all collaborations with Specialist Rademacher occurred after her departure from service in November 2024.
The Salty Soldier reached out to the Army to confirm Larcombe’s separation, but the request received no response.
This week, Rademacher revealed documents she received from the Army regarding her social media activity.
“I have been flagged so many times because of social media,” she said in a TikTok video on Sunday. “However, I have never been found guilty because I follow the rules from the military to a T.”
During the video, she displayed a paper document she claims was sent by an Army Social Media Ethics officer.
“Basically, on this one, the military suggests that we put a disclaimer on our social media,” she said. “It won’t necessarily save you from getting in trouble, but it does make them feel a lot better about being okay with you posting on social media.”
According to the document—where she redacted the sender’s identity—the following disclaimers should be used:
- “The views and opinions provided herein are my own and do not necessarily represent the views of the Army, the Department of Defense, or the United States.”
- “Views and opinions are my own.”
- “Not an official account of the U.S. Army.”
- “Repost not an endorsement.”
The document concludes by stating that a disclaimer “will not save you if the post using your name, image, or likeness as a Soldier is an otherwise inappropriate attempt to use your public office for private gain.”
“There is nothing in the regs that says you can’t post in uniform,” Rademacher added, referring to Army regulations. “However, there are OPSEC rules, and you can’t post things that are technology-sensitive.”
She also noted that the Army suggests soldiers cover their name and rank, a precaution she says she has started following.
“People have found out where I live, and it gets really creepy, but also because I don’t want to be accused of using my rank or my position for personal gain,” she said.
She admitted that she makes money from social media and asserted that she is allowed to do so—even if she posts in uniform while on duty—as long as it does not interfere with her work.
According to another document she displayed in her video, titled “Ethics Brief on Social Media Use 29 January 2025,” soldiers are prohibited from receiving gifts from restricted sources due to their official position.

The vague wording of the document raises questions about whether her “BuyMeACoffee” donation page could put her in violation. It is unclear what the “hamburgers” she sells on the platform represent or who is purchasing them, but it is evident that her status as a soldier has contributed to her TikTok success.
Much of her content revolves around her life in the Army, including a video where she discusses having an affair with a married staff sergeant.
The document also states that soldiers remain subject to Article 92 of the UCMJ, which could put her and others at risk of punishment for using profane language on social media.
