Everything 'about'
About us
proud2serve.net is run by serving personnel with support from their partners who are active in the IT sector. It is therefore entirely 'in-house'. If you'd like to know more, please contact us for details.
About the site
The aim of
proud2serve.net is to build an online community of gay servicemen and women in Britain's Armed Forces. This is a non-sexually orientated website, so we hope you have a safe and fun time. User input into the development of the site is essential so please contact the webmaster with any comments and suggestions.
Proud2serve is not exercising gay rights - but is exercising equal rights. We aim to to inform, support and sustain the military community rather than be campaigners for any particular group.
proud2serve.net is a non-sexually orientated website. Soliciting for sex through this site is not be permitted. Any user found doing so will have their account suspended immediately. To this end
proud2serve.net reserves the right to monitor and read any messages sent, but will not disclose their contents to any third party.

Membership
Why will we make the private site forums exclusive to approved registered members? Well, this forum will provide a secure area where like minded servicemen can exchange advice, questions and information without worrying about who might be reading it. For this reason we will always ask for two 'character witnesses' from the existing member base to propose and second your membership to the members-only forum. The public forum is still exactly that, public for all.
About your contribution to this site:
- Profiles (to be added at a later date)
You have, or will supply personal details for your profile. We'd like to encourage you to use your real name but will not force you to make this public. However this is not gaydar or gay.com and we will ask you to choose a different name if its content is sexual. Use your real name if your are confident enough to. Tell us who you are and what you do. Rank has no meaning on here but if you choose to display it, good on you. Tell us about your leisure interests, maybe your secondary and additional duties that other people share an interest in. Tell us about your life journey and how your colleagues accept you. We don't want to know your vital stats - but you can put a link to profiles on other sites with that kind of info if you want.
Photographs. What helps a lot is if you include a photograph on your profile. It's a great show of support for the nature of proud2serve.net and our stance if you include a photo. Be in no doubt - we will not display it publicly or pass it to any third party without your explicit written consent.
Links to other profiles. This isn't a dating website, it's a professional networking area. However we acknowledge that this may be the only way you can get in contact with guys local to your station or base. So to that end you will be able to add links to your profiles on other sites like outintheuk.com, jaketm.org and gaydar.co.uk
- Forums
The forums are there for you. They will increase in value with the number and quality of contributions that you, the membership make. So please join up and visit the forum.
About your privacy
We appreciate as much as anyone that, no matter what civil and military law and codes of conduct may have to say on the subject, there are still colleagues out there who do not consider that all the Queen's men are equal. This is why your profile information will never be available except to registered users and even then only that information you choose to share.
Abuse
If we receive a justifiable complaint about a profile from any member of the proud2serve community we will remove it. If a forum posting is offensive, inappropriate or reported by another member we will remove it. There is a zero tolerance on abuse on proud2serve - there is enough abuse out there already.
Feedback
Yup, we need it for the site to develop and mature. So please provide some!
PS. This site is not written in accordance with JSP101 - The Manual
