Remember the old days of a U.S. Army recruiting booth set up in your high school cafeteria, that “Army of One” poster in the gym or a recruiting office in the local strip mall? Now, there’s an app for those. The Army has launched a new iPhone app that embraces both the smartphones flying off store shelves and the latest in social media.

The new blogging app, dubbed “Army Strong Stories,” is described by the Army as a “natural extension of the Army’s ongoing commitment to engage potential recruits via social media channels.”

The free app gives Army soldiers the ability to “blog anytime, anywhere,” by opening access to more than 600 soldier bloggers’ content and allowing users to share their own “Army Strong” stories, photos and videos via their iPhone, Android or Blackberry.
