I've visited the sites that my shipmates have put up to meet and greet other men and women they served with. I've been to the Yahoo! Groups, been to Classmates.com and Military.com. What I found on all these sites was that they were always difficult to navigate and terrible to try to find what I was looking for.
I bought the domain name, NavyVets.com quite a few years ago. I've had many offers for the domain but I knew that I could put something together and get everything in a single place. Here it is... it's not perfect, but I think it's pretty good. If you think I'm just trying to make a buck, you're wrong - I am paying for this site and the advertising on the side just defrays the cost.
I started a couple groups already, USS Coontz DDG-40 and USS Spartanburg County LST-1192. These are the ships I spent most of my 6 years on in the United States Navy, so this is where I started. Feel free to start your own groups and invite all of your shipmates. Let's get this social network off the ground!
Welcome to NavyVets.com! A social network for proud veterans of Naval Service.
