The meaning of “recruiter for your school” might have more to do with the Army coordinating who is actively recruiting where, than someone who is permanently installed at said school. So more “I’m the recruiter the Army designated for” than “I’m your school’s recruiter”. Big difference. I’ve never heard of the latter.
I recall a few weeks back in the 1990’s where different armed forces recruiters were allowed to set up a booth in my HS cafeteria. In hindsight, it seems like the faculty should have launched a whole job fair while they were handing out favors. Which just raises more questions. Anyway, this recent social media angle fits with the same M.O. - they’re super aggressive and will work every angle to get closer to potential recruits.
The bigger problem is that, like all military posts, they rotate people frequently. IMO, there’s little incentive to strictly observe social norms since they’re never sticking around for more than a couple years. Yes, you can report people, but that has got to feel like playing whack-a-mole.
Always has been.
