Psycho-pedagogical assistance is seen as a correcting component of the military pedagogical process, the main function of which is individually to correct specialists' personality characteristics causing problems to their life, which is relevant at the present stage of the development of military servicemen professional orientation

The criteria of activity of the personality, as well as indicators of subjectivity in activity of the personality in the social network are determined. It is established that users with different levels of activity and the level of subjectivity, have different personality characteristics.
