I am curious what other veterans would think about an old service buddy reaching out randomly. A few of my Army buddies are not on Facebook or other social media and every once in a while I google their names. I recently found one with an email and thought about reaching out, but not sure if it would be cool. Thoughts?

It depends on how close you were and why you are no longer that close.

But, generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with reaching out to an old buddy - Army or otherwise - to reconnect. That is one of the few GOOD uses of social media, IMHO.

I don't see why not. It's good to rekindle an old friendship. If they don't want to connect with you they will let you know somehow. If you don't try you may regret it later. Best of luck to you!
