Thanks for the compliment on the site. Not real sure about the n4m's rules on names. If your child is in special forces, cryptology, etc then I agree leave their names out. Other than that you can research many sites including navy.mil which is the Navy's official website and find bios with first names, last names, rank, birth place, etc on the Navy's top brass. Also, the Navy post Sailors first and last names in articles every day, which is public record. So I don't understand it. The Navy Times paper has many articles about Sailors with names. You, I, and are enemies can subscribe to Navy Times and have it delivered to our house. So go figure. Our rules are to just use common sense. Don't post exact locations of their ship, dates & times of where their going, etc. But then again, I and others can use google earth to see which ships are in ports. Just the other day I pulled up google earth then zoomed in on the Jacksonville port and looked at the ships lining the docks. It's cool to see. I imagine our enemies could use their satellites to see which ships are docked and which one's are gone. So in my opinion theirs really nothing we parents can do to put our children in harms way. I believe our enemies know exactly where are ships are and if they don't their not much of a threat. So bottom line just use good judgement in what your comfortable sharing with others about your Sailor. This is a site that anyone can visit and read through. Also, thanks for the t shirt order, I'll have it out to you today.

yeah! bad example with google earth but I'm sure countries have satellites with real time data or I hope at least we do. I imagine it would be impossible to hide a battle groups movement in open waters with today's technology.
