<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My units use Facebook and other Social Media. Some of us use Rally Point and then we use our contact networks of phone numbers and e mail addresses.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>One site that I find rarely mentioned is TogetherWeServed.com. There are quite a few people who have created a page there. The nice thing is that if you are messaged, you will get an email to inform you about it. I put my entire career up there as only members can visit a page, and members are verified before they have full access. I really like it.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am almost to the point of giving up, but not yet<br />I had a bad experience with Vets friends<br />I joined and I can’t login and no one can fix it
