FORT GORDON, GA — A soldier assigned to one of the Army’s most sensitive cyber-intelligence units is under fire after a growing body of social media content reveals a pattern of unprofessional behavior and possible violations of Army policy.
Staff Sergeant Kaneisha Collins, a member of the 706th Military Intelligence Group, has built a sizable following on TikTok under the username @collinskaye. Her content — almost entirely focused on her Army life — includes videos mocking other soldiers, criticizing uniform and grooming standards, using vulgar language while in uniform, and even admitting to disregarding her duties during regular duty hours.
In one video, she proudly states that she refuses to answer emails or do any work after 1300 on Fridays.
@collinskaye You had all day and you decided to just now ask for some stuff . Bye ✌🏾. #armybts #miltok #militarytiktok #fridayvibes #worklife ♬ original sound – tiina_wee – María Teresa
In another, she openly ridicules the Army’s appearance regulations, sarcastically bashing the standards that govern hair, nails, and uniform wear — all while in uniform, and speaking directly to her large audience.

But her content doesn’t stop at TikTok. SSG Collins also operates an OnlyFans account.
“Let the darkness appease you 😌💜🤎 I hope you’re ready to spend some money,” her account, which has 55 videos and over 200 photos reads.
Her personal website, CollinsKaye.com even has a media kit encouraging brands to advertise on her platforms.
Nowhere on her TikTok profile or personal site is there a disclaimer clarifying that her views are her own and not representative of the U.S. Army — a baseline requirement for soldiers who post content related to military service.
What raises even more eyebrows is her current assignment. The 706th Military Intelligence Group, based at Fort Gordon (now Fort Eisenhower), is a key signals intelligence and cyber operations unit under U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM). The group supports high-level operations with agencies such as the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command, and handles some of the most sensitive classified work in the Department of Defense.
It’s unclear whether her chain of command is aware of her social media activity or whether any action has been taken to investigate potential violations of Army regulations, including:
- AR 670-1: Governing uniform and appearance.
- DoDI 1300.17: Restricting the use of military uniforms for personal or commercial purposes.
- UCMJ Articles 88, 92, 133, 134: Which may apply depending on the nature of the conduct.
While the Army encourages soldiers to share their stories and connect with the public, SSG Collins’ content appears less about representation and more about monetization. With no disclaimers and the intentional use of her uniform to build a social media brand — including an active OnlyFans
and a media kit for advertisers— questions arise about whether she is exploiting her military affiliation for personal gain at the expense of good order and discipline.
This controversy lands at a time when the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, has publicly vowed to “clean up the ranks” and put an end to what he calls the “woke era” in the U.S. military. In a September 27 address to senior military leaders at the Marine Corps Museum, Hegseth delivered a fiery speech laying out a new direction for the armed forces:
“No more identity months. No more DEI offices. No more dudes in dresses. No more climate change worship. No more division, distraction or gender delusions. No more debris.”
— Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Sept 27, 2025
Under his leadership, the Department of Defense has already begun implementing changes, including:
- The elimination of DEI offices across all service branches.
- A renewed push for uniformity, physical readiness, and appearance standards.
- Reining in the Inspector General system, which Hegseth has criticized as a bureaucratic obstacle to discipline.
- Holding commanders accountable for enforcing standards consistently, regardless of gender or rank.
Hegseth’s tone was unapologetically blunt, declaring, “We are done with that sh*t,” in reference to what he described as years of misplaced priorities. His message was clear: the military’s new focus is on lethality, cohesion, and discipline — not social engineering or personal branding.
SSG Collins’ situation puts that new vision to the test. If soldiers are allowed to use their uniform to build influencer brands, ridicule regulations, and ignore work responsibilities — all while assigned to elite intelligence units — then the question becomes whether the Army is prepared to enforce the standards it claims to be restoring.
Under this new defense leadership, soldiers like Collins may soon find that the tolerance for performative military content is wearing thin. If Hegseth’s words are more than just rhetoric, her actions — and the command’s response — may become a high-profile case study in what the “post-woke” military actually looks like.
