Together We Served for Marines and Navy

Many of you I'm guessing already know about http://www.togetherweserved.com but I wanted to mention it since so many veterans and retired military continue to join SBG and may not of heard of it.
Pre-internet, many of us lost contact with fellow military members that we wanted to stay in touch with. Since I logged into TWS, people have found me or I them from each of my previous commands...all the way back to bootcamp(17 years ago)!!! Initially I didn't think I would put too much effort into using the site, since I put way too much time into my MySpace page, but am definately reconsidering that now...
In short you could compare it to MySpace, for the Navy and Marines, without any advertising(for now...lol). It is free and you get a full membership for at least 6 months I believe...after that you go down to the free basic plan with options to pay for the full plan or recruit(you get upgraded to the full membership for a certain period of time for every 5 people you invite that accepts).
The last perk I've noticed, is that most commands allow you to access it, unlike MySpace, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, etc...that are typically blocked.
With all the networking we do here, this could be another tool in your tool bag if you are not currently utilizing it...

Great info KaLbO, knew absolutely nothing about it. In the archaic Marine Corps system, to locate is a big pain, requiring tons of old info and self addressed envelopes, with no knowledge if you'll get a reply. Can't wait to try this out. Thanks a lot
Sgt. Pate:
Thanks for the info... I signed up and looked around but it started to bring back too many old memories better forgotten. I'll try again some other time. O:O
