Anthony Knoch commented on Douglas Karr's group RTC Orlando

"C-140 Jun - Aug 1989. CC's were BTCM Moxley & AMSC Flora. We were a ragtag bunch of misfits but we made it through. Since I left Orlando, I've run into former company mates on occasion, but not very many."

Keeping Your Email Address Safe

Posted on February 25, 2012 at 11:40am 13 Comments 0 Promotions

We've had a few shipmates that have badmouthed us and said that we're selling email addresses and that they are getting 10 times more spam since joining the site. I can't reiterate this strong enough:

WE DO NOT SHARE OR SELL EMAIL ADDRESSES TO ANYONE!

Here are some words of advice for keeping your email address safe.

If you have any fear that your email address has been shared in the spam world, the…

How to Edit Your Uploaded Photo's Details

Posted on December 27, 2011 at 11:07pm 0 Comments 0 Promotions

You'll notice when you upload a photo that the site names it automatically based on the file name of your image. You can easily edit the details of the photo and I'd highly recommend doing that!

Click on the image after it's uploaded and you'll see an options menu above it and to the right. Select…

How to Add a Command

Posted on December 27, 2011 at 6:35pm 0 Comments 0 Promotions

A few folks have signed up and asked how they could add a command. It's pretty easy! Go to the Commands tab up above and you'll see a Add a Command link at the top of the page!

Here are some tips:

Please try to look for your command first. Check it by name, partial name, command identifier, nicknames, etc. We remove a lot of duplicate commands on here!
Please make sure it's a Navy Command,…

Bravo Zulu: USN Adopts Social Media

Posted on October 17, 2010 at 4:12pm 0 Comments 0 Promotions

Today, I'm even prouder of my Veteran service having read through the US Navy's Social Media Guidelines for Sailors and Navy Personnel. Why?

The USN recognizes that the conversations will happen online, with or without guidelines. Rather than fighting social media, the Navy has instead chosen to promote social media usage throughout the ranks.
US Navy leaders…

Welcoming 2,000 Navy Vets

Posted on February 6, 2010 at 2:25pm 5 Comments 0 Promotions

This has been an exciting couple years at Navy Vets! We've had steady growth and are nearing 2,000 members. I've tried a couple times to boost that number by purchasing advertising but nothing seems to really perform as well as word of mouth within our community!

The site is actually producing more revenue from the advertising monthly now than it costs (whew!) so I'm looking forward to this year to see how we can move forward and begin to give back to Navy Vets. Our goal has always… Continue

One of my shipmates, who is also a member of Navy Vets, passed away on 13 May. Is there some procedure to put it on his Navy Vets page. I told his wife that I would take care of the SubVets notices and did not think of Navy Vets until I went on it tonight.

I have to thank you for starting this site up. I have missed the connection to the service since leaving in 1996. I have found several shipmates so far and am hoping to reconnect with many more in the coming months.

Thanks again.

Hello,

I really like your work that you have done on this Social Network site. I have put together a Social Network Site, however, it needs to have more functionality like this Social Network. Would you give me some pointers. I am looking at deploying some Social Network Software that cost about $300.00 then customize it. Do you have any suggestions?

I have built a prototype of it, where it has much of the functionality of Microsoft SharePoint Server in it without being Microsoft SharePoint Server.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Kindest regards,

VonVictor

At 6:22pm on December 27, 2011, Richard Oropeza said…: How do add commands on this site. I'm also a free member of www.togetherweserved.com/navy and they have the ability to add these.

I guess that's why I can't go any further that add my profile...the rest is pay per view...that

stinks! This site looks good better graphics so far.....

At 1:55pm on October 21, 2011, JL "Johnny" Johnson said…: Hey, Doug. Now and then I notice vets here asking about where they can find Navy gear. I have purchased a number of items from a website called www.medalsofamerica.com They produce high quality products with Navy insignias for a fair price. They would make a good sponsor for your site and provide a good source of Navy gear for the vets. I don't think there is much competition there for the items that you sell. Check them out and I will be glad to contact them and suggest they buy space on your site if you wish. Thanks again for running a great place for all these old salts to shoot the bull.

At 8:43am on August 20, 2011, James C Aultman said…: Thanks so much for inviting me.

At 2:25pm on August 9, 2011, James S Bailey deceased said…: Thank you Doug. I have yearbooks from the USS Yancey from 1966-1968 Med cruise and since my husband passed away I would like to give them to someone. I also have his boot camp yearbook and I am new to this site. Can you help me?
