Questions............

[SweetSue]

I am new to this forum & site.
I have posted a thread at the missing persons forum.
The fellow I am looking for was in the Army.
Started out at Ft. Benning.
The last thing I can find on him is 71st&th Stu BN TCB (or maybe BCT?).
Where would one go after that? What unit? How can I find out? Any ideas?
Thanks so much!

Was he airborne?
What was his Military Occupational Status MOS?
What year was he there?

However the answer could be just about anywhere.

Not a good answer but who knows how the military assigns orders.

P.S. Looked up your post on missing persons. Lots of good advice there. Do you know his home state? Or home city?

You could go the White Pages on line and post his name and see if anything shows up.

time for an update !

Well I finally got up the courage and sent a registered letter to someone who seemed to fit the profile: name, military etc.
I rec'd an email today!

Not the correct person.....
But !!!!!
this person was in the military and retired from active duty in 1978. He was a Lt.COl .

He said he will try to help. BIG GRIN

He also said

"His address: 7th Stu BN TCB, I think stands for 7th Student Battalion, Training Center Brigade at Ft Benning, which is primarily an Infantry training center. "

So my next question is this:

Infantry :
What exactly it is? Where do I look next? any ideas???????????

I have found oodles and oodles of websites that are listed by
unit numbers or whatever only. I have no idea what they mean!

Thanks again for your guidance!
I will find Fred !
