Finding old contacts is just one of the many reasons I love the Internet. I was looking up some of my old bosses from when I was in the USAF and using the Internet to find people makes life so much easier than it was back in the 80s & early 90s.

Turns out one of my old bosses retired in Hawaii as a 3 star general and the other is now one of the directors at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. Although I took a left turn after about 12 years in the USAF and jumped on the dot com bubble, sometimes I wonder what life would have been like if I stayed in for the whole shot. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t regret the decision I made, sometimes you ‘just wonder’ about things. Being able to do what I love, live where I want, schedule time off with my boss (me) is a nice thing.

I think what I miss most about my prior experiences in the military was working with some very interesting people in some very interesting places. The deployments to different parts of the world to be a ‘part of history’ instead of a spectator was also quite a rush.

Anyways, here’s some useful tools for those of you wanting to find old contacts.

1) zabbasearch.com

2) classmates.com
