PALO ALTO, Calif. — The algorithm that powers the Facebook social network is absolutely convinced that you would like to add your sergeant major and numerous staff officers to your friends list, sources confirmed Wednesday.

"It's pretty clear that you know each other pretty well," said Matt Park, a Facebook engineer at the company's headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif. "Honestly, it's kind of surprising that you guys haven't linked up already."

In fact, according to a data file generated by Facebook, 32 people you know have already digitally consummated their relationship with Terry Miller, your Battalion’s Command Sergeant Major.
