(3) Is otherwise inconsistent with ethical standards, including such
inconsistent acts as the acceptance of a fee, compensation, gift, payment of expense, or
any other thing of monetary value in circumstances in which that acceptance may result
in, or create the appearance of, a conflict of interest.
b. Enlisted Personnel. While off-duty employment by enlisted members of the
Armed Forces is normally permitted, AMEDD personnel require prior approval. Local
regulations should be checked.
c. No Unfair Competition. Outside employment by enlisted personnel is not
permitted to interfere with the customary or regular employment of local civilians in their
art, trade or profession. Outside employment refers to any civilian pursuit, business, or
professional activity for which the enlisted person is paid for his/her services. When a
question arises, seek advice from an ethics counselor.
d. During Strikes. Off-duty employment of military personnel by a business
involved in a strike is permissible if the person was on the payroll of the business before
the strike started and if the employment is otherwise allowed. After a strike begins, and
while it continues, no military personnel may accept employment at the strike location.
