the cafba web site had been hacked and has been off line for about a month.
I am just now able to start rebuilding the site.
Progress will be slow so you will have to check back often to see the updates.

We do apologize for being down so long!

13 is not an unlucky number!

The cafba web site was created in January 1996.

13 years ago! Now that's hard to believe!

We started with 350 names. Now we have over 12,000.

And we are growing every month!

As we have grown the amount of time, money and workload to create, maintain and improve the cafba website has increased tremendously.

My part time dream has evolved into an almost full time job!

Think about it!

First there is the need to add all of the new members.

Then we have to keep current with all the existing members.

New ideas and information has to be added on a regular basis to keep you coming back!

This all takes a huge amount of time!

But the time has come to make some major improvements to the site!

So stay tuned! keep an eye on this noticeboard.

The first of these improvements are seen below.

We are changing the way you access the web site. Below you have two options.

If you are already a registered member of cafba then just click on the 'Member login' button below. This will take you to a member login screen where you must enter your username and password. If you don't remember or haven't been told yet what your user name and password are just email me and I will send it to you. Please do not re-register until I ask you to. This will avoid duplicate entries in the database.

Once you enter your login information and you click on the 'Login' button you will be taken to a 'Member Profile' page where you can update your user contact information. On that page there is a link with a generic username and password that when clicked will take you to the rest of the web site. You can now do searches by last name, by bases and by cafbaID.

And the members cheer heartily.

If you are not already a member - Why not sign up NOW! Just click on the 'New Registration' button below and follow the prompts.

You must now be a registered member of cafba to access the web site.

I apologize to all those who liked to drop by the site anonymously and to the bots who frequent the site regularly - well show your human side and we will let you in.

These changes have been made with increased security and ease of access in mind.

Please share your thoughts about these changes.

Some thoughts of members who have surfed the new cafba web site:
Gary says: I like the changes and easier moving about...looks very good now. The search feature is great...so much easier than scrolling through the long lists...!

Sue says: this is brilliant. Many many thanks for all your time and energy that ;you have spent keeping this web site alive. I deeply and truly appreciate having this place to visit..

Curtis says: So now I have to log in here, this sucks just another user name and number, something most of us just hate… the nice thing about the sight was the fact any one could look, it is a nice thing to be able to do when looking for long lost friends. My user name is always used I can never use my password I always have to ask for help to get back in and now because of these limitations it is now even harder for some one to find me. I personal think this suck…I have nothing to hide so why lock it up…

We are an association of former military dependents who were stationed on various Air Force Bases around the world who are dedicated to reuniting with those long lost friends from so many years ago!.

This site originated in Jan 1996 with an initial list of 340 names from the Vancouver reunion. It has grown to over 10,000 names and continues to grow at an astounding rate every month. As more features are added and updated, (like email addresses, base history, trivia and many others) it requires more time, greater resources and extra finances to maintain the site on a day to day basis.

The information available on this site is for personal, non commercial use only. We want to keep it that way!
Paid membership helps pay for the costs of site management and development, and internet connection, storage and database development and maintenance.
