I've been searching RallyPoint for anyone I've served with to no avail. Anyone else found this? If you do know me, please endorse me! I'm attempting to finish my profile, and more importantly I would love to catch back up with you!

I've found a couple of people I knew, but it seems they signed up, started their profile, and haven't been back since. Sad, really; I would have liked to have heard their thoughts on some of the discussions here.

I've seen a couple of people pop on and then disappear.

I'm not sure if it's due to age. I was active duty before the digital age really took off. Personal computers were advancing by the week etc. etc..I've only seen two individuals that were in while I was in that I knew of.

Just a poignant reminder that we all need to be ambassadors for RP to grow

I too am having great problems with finding my generation of sailors. Many of my units are not listed. I suspect many of us older service folks are having or seeing the same. So much has changed in the military I suspect that could impact their interest? I for one have made a lot of new friends, but most of my old shipmates that I served with are among the missing. Another thing I noted was that the Navy as a whole seems to be a minority on RP.
