SHIPMATES

We know how hard it can be to locate old shipmates.  We also know how rewarding it can be.  Here are links to several websites that offer a variety of methods for reconnecting with your military buddies.

Veterans Alliance Service Center

A free site with a lot of resources for U.S. Veterans, including assistance with Pay, VA Benefits, VA Loans, Military Records, a Search Engine for tracking down old military buddies, and a lot more.

Deck Log   

DeckLog is a free interactive website designed to help Naval Veterans get in touch with each other.  The site is run by several Navy veterans and their families, who all served on the same submarine together.

Military Connections Find A Buddy

This site has a pretty good mix of veterans benefits, plus a search engine for Active Duty personnel, Reservists, and veterans.  You have to be a member of the site to use the Buddy Search, but membership is free.  Be sure to check out their Reunions section.
