Island Boys promote Army recruitment in Cameo

“Big shoutout to Staff Sergeant Tamez, you’re changing lives, giving out $50K,” Alex Venegas says in a Cameo video that was posted to TikTok by by a Texas-based Army recruiter.

The Army banned TikTok on government phones in 2019, citing security concerns, and recruiters aren’t supposed to use the app for recruitment purposes on their personal devices, either.

That hasn’t stopped recruiters from promoting enlistment on TikTok. The Island Boys video is the latest instance of Army recruiters’ using online platforms to reach younger people in a national labor shortage.

Brothers Franky and Alex Venegas, known together as the Island Boys, appeared last week in a video posted to TikTok by Orlando Tamez, a Texas-based Army recruiter. Tamez used Cameo, a shoutout app that allows fans to pay stars for personalized videos.

“Big shoutout to Staff Sergeant Tamez, you’re changing lives, giving out $50K,” Alex Venegas says in the Cameo video that was shared by Tamez.

“Giving out bonuses? Paid vacation?” Franky Venegas adds.

“And free college, no money,” they both say.

"The Island Boys Cameo was not reviewed, authorized, nor paid for by U.S. Army Recruiting Command as an official marketing tool," Bland said. "We are investigating the situation and requiring the individual recruiter to remove the TikTok account, as it is not authorized for official use at this time."

These clowns just won't go away. It's like a reddit meme that goes viral; everyone knows it sucks but it still finds a way onto your screen.
