I’m trying to get ahold of a friend of mine who is in the Navy, but have no idea where he is. Is there any sort of locator that I can use (without a security clearance)?

QUESTION
How to locate a shipmate or family member?
ANSWER
Active duty:
The Navy’s World Wide Locator is a service established to find the present duty station of active duty personnel, and is for official business use only. Family members, active duty personnel and Navy retirees may also use this system. To do so, you must have the service member’s full name, Social Security number, grade or rank, and, if possible, last known duty station. Write to:
World Wide Locator
Bureau of Naval Personnel
Pers-312
5720 Integrity Drive
Millington, TN 38055-3120
Retirees and those who have left the Navy but are not retired:
To locate retirees, limited service is available through the World Wide Locator (address above). Correspondence will be forwarded, if possible, to the retiree as addresses are not releasable by law under the Privacy Act. Also, many times the address is not known. You may also may advertise for former shipmates in any of the many veterans’ organizations magazines.
