What They Do
Members need to register and create their profile, included in a member's profile is their Service History, Trade, Units/Ships/RAF Stations, Dates and Locations and their pictures.

The more information you include the better your chances.

How Do They Do It
First off, they match you to other members, using your Unit/Ship/RAF Station (Establishment), along with the dates you served at each.

Your details (Less Service Number) are placed on Search Engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo etc, that way when your old Oppo is searching for you your profile page is easier to find.

You can select not to have this done, you just need to change your settings on your profile page.

Visitors can search their membership database by using Name or Establishment details, they can then narrow down the search by using Trade and Dates served in that Establishment.

How to Set-up Your Profile
I will include some images from my own Profile page, to help you make your own and I will include some tips that should help you find your old muckers.
