Help locating someone

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Help locating someone

Post by TDandSen » Sun Jun 05, 2005 6:39 pm

This is one of those crazy "you only hear about in the movies" things, but this is the only way that I have to track someone down. I'm a US military member serving overseas. I'm trying to find someone that became a good friend of mine. He said that he posted on these boards and was rather active. I don't have an account name, but maybe someone will recognize him from some information.
He spent a long time in basic training because of an injury. He would have referred to this place as the "Med Hold" or "319th". He might have told stories about a Training Instructor sleeping in his wall locker or how he got ice cream on his first few days. If ANYONE can help me find this guy, I would really appreciate it.

You're sure it was Transfans.net? When would he have posted here? You should send a PM to Best First, the site mod.

Probably would have posted from whenever until now, I'm assuming. He was/is a transformers nutcase. I remember him mentioning this site specifically. He was in BMT from spring of 04 until fall of 04, I think. I really wish that I had more to go on, but I don't, at least not things that I'm willing to say over a public internet forum for privacy reasons.

Hm. You'd definitely need to go to a site mod to see anything that far back.

If you've got the time and the desire, here are a few of TF sites that are either bigger than us or more US-centric: www.tfw2005.com, www.transfandom.com, www.seibertron.com

tfarchive.com is the sister site to hear. I vaguely recall the odd milatary servive man here or there but with the switch over it's impossible to confirm :(

Good luck with the search.

Hey man. The guy you're looking for (if it's the same guy we talked about over IM) runs a (very cool, imo) TF site that can be found at www.mylittletransformer.com . All of his contact info can be found there. Good luck!
