After investigation I discoverd they had 36,000 recruits in 2004. 150,000 was woefully off by the way. After investigation I discoverd they had 36,000 recruits in 2004.

The US Marine Corps page...for instance, apparently 430 people have filled out online applications since they started using it. And the video just looks like a clip maybe an intra to a training film? or a failed commercial? Then its just hiring someone to create the feel for the site. I'd have to imagine 430 people joining via their myspace profile since January is a fairly good ROI. (via infopackets.com) Though that is a small number compared to 150,000 (or so) recruits across the country averages a year. I'd still suspect it does better than an average recruitment office with 0 real overhead. Personally, I’m curious how much it actually costs to host a myspace.
