How can I contact a servicemember at Misawa AB?

We DO NOT release individual e-mail addresses under any circumstances. If you're trying to find out someone's e-mail address, you can only get it by contacting that person directly through one of the methods listed below.

We DO NOT provide forwarding service for your e-mails either. Again, you must contact your recipient directly to establish contact.

Air Force regulations prohibit the posting of base telephone books or e-mail directories on web sites. Instead, general interest phone numbers, e-mail addresses and points-of-contact are listed, where appropriate, on this web site.

For emergency contact with a servicemember:

In the event of a bonafide family emergency, military members can be quickly contacted through the services of the American Red Cross. Contact them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week toll free at (877)-272-7337. This number will put callers in touch with a Red Cross caseworker at one of the Armed Forces Service Centers.

To locate former Misawa, retired or separated Air Force members:

If you're trying to locate someone previously stationed here, or who has retired or separated from the Air Force, contact the Air Force Worldwide Locator Service.

The AF World Wide Locator handles official and unofficial requests to locate Air Force Personnel. Official requests are defined as requests received from any government agency and the Department of Defense (DoD). All other requests are considered unofficial in nature.

The AF World Wide Locator only has location information on individuals who are currently receiving compensation from the USAF (Active Duty, Guard, Reserve, Retired, and Civil Service Personnel). If the individual has separated from the AF, no information is available.

OFFICIAL REQUEST:

DoD official requests may be handled over the phone, providing the requester gives their full name, rank, SSN, organization and purpose of the request. Failure to provide requested information will result in non-disclosure of requested information.

Place this envelope in a larger envelope with your check or money order for $3.50 made payable to DAO-DE RAFB and mail to the Locator address given above. Your request constitutes consent to release of this information to the member.

FEES:

A fee of $3.50, per individual request, is required from all personnel or businesses requesting addresses on military personnel. Requests must be in writing.

The World Wide Locator also provides a "Statement or Verification of Service". This applies to Active Duty Air Force personnel only. A fee of $5.20, per individual written request, is required.
