Finding retired USAF officer

[seemunkee]

My boss asked me to help him track down a former colleage. I've come to a dead end unless I pay one of the internet spy companies to get what is probably outdated records. Is military.com or any other commercial site a viable option. The person I'm looking for is in his mid 70s if that has any bearing.

1. mid-70s and still alive?

a private investigator can easily find him through various public databases (so can you, but sometimes it's cheaper to hire a pro) you have name, rank and unit? piece of cake.

2. name and last known rank

My boss probably knows the unit.
The person I'm looking for is a Jr and his father had a very distinguished career in the Service also. I keep coming across his fathers info.
I guess I'll have to pay to find him or have my boss go through VA and wait forever.

3. when I was in the Air Force I worked in Personal Affiars

in the CBPO (Consolidated Base Personnel Office). We had microfiche of all retired/active duty folk. I used to get letters from people looking for old friends - I didn't have to do it, but I would forward the letter to the person myself - that way I gave away no information but gave the other person the option to respond. I remember one time I wrote this guy (name, address, phone number) claims he was at your wedding and would love to hear from you. :D
