I'm looking for an old friend and I heard he may have enlisted in the army. Is there any way to find out?

Try military.com I've helped my husband find old shipmates that way. Go the to "community" tab and click on "buddy finder". It will only work if he's signed up though. Good luck!

Try the Armed Forces Locator Service.  Google is your friend.

If you contact the military authorities (i.e. Military Police if you are near a military post) and can give them the name, social security number, branch of service (Army, Navy, AF, Marine) you believe they are AWOL from (all of that information if possible), and you can explain why you believe they are AWOL they can possibly make inquiries for you.\nThe military has numbers they can contact depending on the branch of service to confirm if a person is possibly AWOL.

You are able to search on their website.  Just enter your firend's last and first name to check.

Your best bet is to go to the message board on yellowpageskenya.com. I was able to find a friend I hadn't seen in 30 years. This site may also give other ways to find this friend. There is an option to put in the name and retrieve his address and phone number. Good luck.

Contacting the army may give you a forwarding address, or you could hire a private detective however without any more information that may be a dead end.  First thing i'd try is the Army.

Best bet is if you know what units they were assigned to, do a search on those units.  \n\nI come from a military family, found a wealth of information on the Navy, Army Air Corps, and Army from WWII, Army - Korea, Brown Water Navy - Nam, by searching those.  Included were refrernces to my relatives by name.  Even found my own name from Grenada and Desert Storm.  \n\nExample:  8th AF (Uncle Served WWII, B-17 pilot decorated postumously), USS Cobia, WWII:  Uncle Served on four combat cruises, USS Kitty Hawk (Same Uncle Commanded this vessel), 554 River Division: Uncle Served two combat tours), Swift Boats:  Cousin Served (OIC, WIA, Feb 28 1969), and more.\n\nI even found the inscription from my grandfathers headstone   in the military cemetary where he is burried.  \n\nHope this helps and happy hunting

go to google, and type in his name. If there were any stories on it they would be listed. Your best option would be to try the newspaper from the base he was stationed at in the states. Good luck finding any. My husband was injured, and there was not a story on him, or the mission he was on.

If you write to one of these addresses and enclose a check for 3.50 they will tell you if your friend is in that branch of the military. Pay attention folks, copy and paste and all that jazz.\n\nMarine Corps, write to:\nUSMC-CMC\nHQMC-MMSB-10\n2008 Elliot Rd. Suite 201\nQuantico, VA 22134-5030\n\nArmy, write to:\nArmy Worldwide Locator\nUS Army Enlisted Records & Evaluation Center\n8899 E 56th str.\nIndianapolis, IN 46249-5301\n\nCall the Marines at 703-784-3942\nand the Army at 703-325-3732\n\nFamily members don't need to pay the 3.50.\n\nI will be posting the rest of the addresses on my 360 later.

Try military.com under community (I think) there is a buddy finder option. If they are singed up you can find them.

The first place to start would be the Veteran's Administration.  After that look for any websites for the 35th Division, to see if there are any reunions.  You might also try your local VFW or American Legion Posts, to see if anyone there was a member of this division, or can help with your inquiry.

try google, classmates.com, reunion.com for starters.  Also try the white pages, that also is a good source.  My First Shirt from my first duty station located me via classmates.  I hadn't seen him since 1980.

Find the area where he was stationed first. Then check w / orphanages records. Try to locate exgirlfriend / mother by name. Japanees have strong family records by tradition.

You really want to learn a bout your dad? Maybe you should try going to military.com. If you have the info on his unit and such maybe some of his unit is still a bout and would know of him. You might go there join up and do a search for people who may have known him. Nothing would tell you more about him than the people who worked with him...

As a member of his immediate family, you are entitled to his complete service record. You can get this through the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis. I have linked their web site below. As for a list of all the names aboard a specific ship - unless you can find a veterans organization involving that ship (many many ships have these types of organizations for shipmates to stay in contact after their service) - you may be out of luck finding it. I wish you the best - Good Luck.
