Greg Notess, Government Information on the Internet (Bernan, 1997)
describes a service called Military City Databases at
www.militarycity.com/member/locate.html
The description states "databases at this site use a WAIS search engine
for finding people in the military . . . Active Duty Personnel Database,
Overseas Personnel Database, Duty Losses Database, Reserves Databases I
and II."
What Notess does not say is that this is a "members only" site and one
must pay to be a member, as I discovered when I accessed the site. Still,
it may be worth the price if there is not alternative (and I haven't found
one).
