MSG(P) Michael Warrick, like SSG Justin McCoy, I have found and re-connected with old Army buddies through Facebook and LinkedIn. SFC Boots Attaway is the "oldest" Army buddy I have found. We served together in 1978/1979. I also re-connected with a buddy from 1980/1981, and then another from later, in the 1990s.

I found and reconnected with my best friend from the Corps Sgt Les Juarez on Face book. And now here also on RP. Also on FB found another friend who was my neighbor next door while we served SSgt Ron Weist who now lives in Indiana. I also have friends from the Guard that I have got to connect on RP.
