Has anyone else had issues locating their previous unit/duty stations on this site?

I was stationed at Myrtle Beach AFB from 1983-1991, and the base closed in 1993. Although the 354th lives on in Alaska, there is nothing on Rally Point to reflect the 354th TFW during that time, We were the first A-10 unit to arrive in Saudi Arabia in '90, so I hoped that I would find something here, but nothing exists to reflect that point in the Wing's history. I contacted Rally Point when I first joined, and again about a week ago, with no response. What does it take to get a duty station or unit added?

I've had problems finding other units that no longer exist. The 313th MI BN from the 82nd doesn't come up in searches.

Yes, I had the same problem (couldn't find one of my old units). Trying to keep track of every unit that ever existed, and creating a community for each, it most likely an exercise in futility for the website. That's most problematic with deactivated units and closed military bases.

I haven't been able to find any of my units.

I have never been able to locate anything about my Units when I served in Vietnam. I guess it was too long ago? Shit, it's only part of Military History anyways. Who care about that, right?

I've only found my IET unit here.
