I usually only connect with past veterans when a postshows up on Facebook.
If I am town I will try to hookup otherwise there is not much interaction.
It is of course my fault because I am not a social person.

Lost contact of all my buddies from the Air Force, I do miss those times, that I wish I kept more memorabilia and pictures of those times.

Probably a couple of times per week through Facebook. I think the last time in-person was 2019.

I had texted and visited one of my bosses when I worked in Stan Eval. I am glad to have found one of my co-workers when working in ground scheduling. And keep in touch with my first commander at my first base I was stationed at. Plus a co-worker from my last assignment in a joint command. Would love to get in touch with more of the people I knew from my Air Force days.

I pretty much connect on a daily basis with at least one of my friends from the military through facebook or email. Many of us have stayed in close contact.

I met my battle buddy at Luke AFB, AZ. Filipino baller! We played basketball and Halo a lot. We were stationed together again at Ramstein AB, Germany. He's like a brother. Shout out to you Balili! He's still serving in the USAF; I finished my service recently. We chat it up every couple of months. He's still a solid dude.

Unfortunately, not for years. They all live cross country so I call to check on them. I wish I had more to say about it but I don't.

We usually chat every year, but our lives are so different now and spread out so far. Since COVID happened, it seems as though many are struggling to find an everyday life again, and because of inflation, people are working more and communicating less. The military gave me family, but the economy gave me despair.
