I have many old buds from the Navy that I didn't stay in touch. After a several squadrons, would be tough too do. I have no problem with them looking me up 15 years later as they retire or are furloughed, etc looking for the gouge and a possible rec. I have the brass to tell someone I won't write one. When I do write one, I send a copy of what I wrote to the individual so they know what I wrote. If they choose for me not to turn it in, I don't. It's fair.
