<p>So at the AFA, can you use Facebook or Myspace? If I do get appointed, I’d like to stay in touch with my friends from High School. I don’t really use Myspace, just Facebook for social reasons.</p>
<p>I know my kids have been in touch with several cadets via facebook...</p>
<p>facebook, yes
myspace, no</p>
<p>why a no to myspace? Any specific reasons?</p>
<p>Because people above you and I said so. That's really what it comes down to in the military - just salute sharply and carry on.</p>
<p>or because its blocked on the usafa server, so u can't access it from usafa, which defeats the point of using it to keep in touch</p>
<p>Out of curiosity has it always been that way, or only since the Megan Meir case? I believe her death was about 2 yrs ago, and the case is being tried in Federal court, which could be a reason. Yet, like Petko stated the military will always be like your parent...because I said so...except you must be the dutiful child and never continue questioning.</p>
<p>Can't tell you how many times Bullet has said I just salute sharply and do waht I am ordered, because they made the decision many pay grades above me.</p>
<p>Not at all. It was blocked in '06/'07 due to issues with hacking. Too many computers were being hacked via myspace, so the military blocked it.</p>
<p>Than it will be just a matter of time until facebook is taken out also</p>
<p>It's also just another matter of time until a new social networking program comes out. Facebook is now being overrun with the types of people that made most people make the switch from myspace. I guess it's just the law of the internet. I remember it was Xanga first, then myspace, now facebook is what's in.</p>
