About Your Profile Questions

Why would NavyVets.com add questions asking for your mailing address?
These are optional questions and no one is allowed to see them with the exception of the Administrators of the web site. The reason why we'd like to know your address is that we often send out gifts to our members from the Ship's Store.

I'm going to purchase a bunch of the bumper stickers and send them to the members who enter their mailing address. Be sure to send me a message by clicking on the link on my profile page!

Please note: This information will NEVER be distributed or sold to a third party during my watch!

Thanks for supporting Navy Vets!
