| First make sure your information is listed in our own
DD-950 2001 Crew list. Maybe somebody is looking for you! Check your information listed there and if it is missing or needs changed, use the link on that page to notify the people in charge of it. Please note: If you do not want to have your email address listed publicly, or if you don't have one, let them know and they will forward both email and US Mail to you.
You may also want to open an email account at our own DD950.org
and use it to post publicly. These Web based email accounts
such as ours, Hotmail and Yahoo are handy as your email address will
never change. They all have some virus protection and a "bulk
mail" function to help screen out some of the advertisements or
"spam" you will receive from a publicly posted email
address. You can set our DD950.org email system to send you a
note to another email address when you receive mail.
Second, list your information while you search for your past shipmates at the better organizations on the Internet.
Some of these have
come and gone over the past 15 years, but recently A & E Broadcasting Group
has taken over Military.com and with that financial
backing it will most likely be around for awhile and become
effective. Military.com cross references
listings with all the military units people were associated with.
Your shipmate may have spent time at other commands and may be to
busy to look for the DD-950 yet. As time goes on and more and more
veterans add their info to Military.com's database, it may become the
best Personnel Locator to find people you served with. Click through and sign up
for FREE from here and military.com will pay the
DD-950 Association a $1.00 reward.

| Below are some links to the better
Websites we have found to search for past shipmates. If you find a
better one, please let us know at Search@DD950.org
and we will list it here too. |

United
States Navy Memorial Foundation
|
| Founded in 1977, honors all who have served in the sea services and perpetuates their heritage, values and traditions. Every sailor should register and enter their information into the
database, the Navy Log. There are now over 250,000 servicemen
listed. |
|
| Shipmates.com |
| A service for: Former and current, active and reserve, military personnel, their families and friends. And, those trying to locate any of these people for personal reasons. |
|
| NAVYSPIES
Investigations Organization® |
| Provides you with links to many free and pay-for databases as well as helpful information on how to do all this! We recommend you get a 'quick start' by clicking here! Please note
they are in the process of UPDATING the entire website! We apologize for any inconvenience! |
|
| Vets.com |
| Search for lost shipmates, find other Military Web sites, and all the veterans information you will ever need. |
|
The
Seeker's
|
| A great Website for the searcher. They added a link back to the DD-950 Web site for us, so be sure to tell them we said hello. |
|
| World
Wide Web Vietnam Veteran Location Service |
| A good place to look, and list your
info, if you served during those years. Plus, there is good information
and links for all searchers found here. |
|
| American
Veteran Search |
| Some free services, but mostly a paid
for service. |
|
|
| A paid for service. If you click
through this link the DD-950 Association will receive a commission.
If you add up all the mail and telephone costs of your own searches, it
might be a feasible alternative. |
|
| Yahoo
People Search |
| Probably the best white pages search
available on the Internet at this time. Yet, try them all as they
all return different results. Yahoo will try to get you to pay for
the USSearch.com services. Don't do it, click through the link
above if you decide to use USSearch.com. |
|
| WhoWhere.com |
| Look up email and telephone addresses
here too. |
|
| Classmates.com |
| Recently added a Veteran database to
their services. Like most such services, they allow you to list
your information for free, then charge you to search their
database. You may also find a past shipmate here if you know their
hometown and look for the high school reunion. |
