I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to get a roster of men who were assinged to a unit at the same time I was. I have a pretty goos idia when I was infected. we all recieved a flu shot in the fall of 72 then on new years eve that year I had the worst flu like symptoms that I can ever remember having and I know this is a symptom of the onset of hcv. I would like to find others that recieved that same injection

My suggestion is to type in the name of the service you were in on a search bar. There are several organizations that have members that sign up to find old friends. Most are free. If it was a basic training thing, you should try to remember the name (or #) of your training squadron or regiment. The proper branch of the service you were in can point you to the right area to narrow your search. If anyone else has a better approach, please chime in. I’ve never attempted it but with all the assets available on the internet, its axiomatic that the info is somewhere.

Which branch of the service were you in ?

There are more than a few “associations” – as an example, my husband served onboard a naval ship in the Maine detachment.   There is an association for the ship that he served on that up that meets ever year for a reunion … we went to one and that’s where we found one former ship mate who wrote a “buddy statement” for my husband.
Navy ships can be found on HazeGrey.org I believe, and as NOD mentioned …
As an example if you were in ABC Company, Division XYZ, Battaloion 123, Squad 456 … (please don’t quote or jab me for not knowing the correct “lingo” ) you might just come up with a message board for yours or a starting point to search from.   We recently had a phone call from a former ship mate that knew someone my husband knew onboard, my husband didn’t know the 1st guy but he called and needed some help with a claim for Agent Orange exposure.
The internet has made finding someone a whole lot easier.
