Do service academies look at your facebook?

<p>Considering you took normal security precautions and everything, will they check. My ALO mentioned something about a Private Security Act of 1974. </p>

<p>I mean I have nothing to hide I guess. But the professionalism I display in my interview with my ALO and the picture of me stage diving at a party sort of conflict…lol. </p>

<p>Anyway, thank you! :)</p>

<p>I doubt they have the time, so you are probably safe</p>

<p>“Probably safe” is not good enough with the amount of competition to gain an appointment to one of the SAs. Why take the risk? Additionally if you receive an appointment, would you want to report for BCT knowing that some of your trainers may have seen your Facebook page? Again, why even go there? Remove anything remotely controversial and turn on as many privacy controls as you can…at least until you are appointed and finished with your initial cadet/mid summer training. JMPO…</p>

<p>To second what aglages said, if you come to basic with something ridiculous on your facebook, one of us will find it and it will define you your entire freshman year :slight_smile: I speak from experience as cadre. However, I doubt they will look at your facebook, just make sure your profile picture is reasonable (just in case)</p>

<p>Yep, public information has a way of getting around. </p>

<p>“Don’t publish your own stupdity,” was the advice I’ve heard.</p>

<p>Alright, thank you all for the responses.</p>

<p>Your insight is much appreciated! :)</p>
