94 million registered users – many in their teens and 20s – use MySpace.Com [3] as a way to connect with others with similar interests. The U.S. Marine Corps [4] is hoping to tap into that pool of potential recruits through its own MySpace profile. According to Gunnery Sgt. Brian Lancioni, it’s “definitely the new wave. Everything's technical with these kids, and the Internet is a great way to show what the Marine Corps has to offer.” Louise Eaton, media and Web chief for the U.S. Army Accession Command agrees. “It is where prospects are. We go to where they are to try to inform them of the opportunities we offer.” Fortunately, the Marine Corps has stated that they won’t actually enlist anyone directly through the MySpace site – they will meet the potential recruits in person first. The approach has its critics. Steve Morse with the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors [5] stated “It's kind of obnoxious of them to be using something that's sort of like a youth domain, to kind of come in and really sucker youth into something they're not really explaining fully.”
