Just wondering how to locate old military buddies.

It was over 30 years ago...

Put an ad in the "---- times" depending on the service branch. Most older units have an association. Or.. Together-we-served . com is a round about way. Hope this helps.

Yep, also check classmates.com, they also track military units, not just schools. Linkedin also worked for me...

Absolutely. Since signing up, my father has (almost instantly) reconnected with most of his Air Force buddies from his time in Guam.

We met up for real when I went for a trip to Darwin last year.

To be completely honest I wished we hadn't... He's an alcoholic and completely miserable. (He's now 74)
