Once every few months, but I've lost track of a lot of them.

I have never connected with a former service person I served with, but would very much like to. I was a corpsman in the Marine Corps and also served on a coastal minesweeper that was later transferred to the Fijian Navy and then grounded and sunk in a reef,

I am the odd duck who never forged a strong bond with my work colleagues. Just wasn't worth it when I was going to move in a year anyway. 20 years, 9 PCS moves and 4 TCSs.

Really just one guy - not that we are actual battle buddies (fortunate to be in during the Carter years). But we connect from time to time through facebook. Sad to say, I wasn't as tight with my teams as I should have been.

Virtually never. I am a fresh vet, so it means less, but I am afraid to.
I let bad memories overpower the good ones. Even posting here feels dangerously exposed. I don't want to open myself to being found.
It does hurt to feel so alone.
(i assume if you're reading this far down the list you can relate?)
