Third Fleet Launches NEPTUNE Magazine

 
The NEPTUNE magazine arrives close to the beginning of Third Fleet's third year of existence, the anniversary as an independent entity in the United States Naval Service in Second Life being June 23. But we could not wait. This monthly magazine will be available in world as a real scale magazine (with a new real cover/back each month), available at selected places in the Grid for free from its own dispensers. You can place the NEPTUNE magazine on your desk, coffee table, waiting room or wherever you wish and if you touch it you will get a link to the web version on this blog.

Each month a new NEPTUNE magazine will be published and distributed in World and in e-format via NAVSL group, the Naval Service in Second Life information hub. We hope this way to add some more visibility to our activities and open the door to other groups that wish to use this vehicle to link to their own stories in their own websites, blogs or social media pages. From the editor's desk, in the Black Sheep hangar at NAS Miramar, my sincere wishes of a great new year 2018. Go Navy!

from the Editorial by Asra Kron, NEPTUNE Magazine

NEPTUNE is a project that finally came to light as Third Fleet always aspired to have a link to not just her own stories but those of other naval service groups and naval aviation manufacturers, gathered in one place: the magazine. The convenience of the display version, that can be obtained by everyone via dispensers set in world at selected places in the grid and is distributed to your door each edition if you are a member of the Naval Service in Second Life info group (NAVSL), adds to your role play and links directly to the true magazine that lives online.

The beauty of this format is that you can send us the link and first paragraph of a story you'd like published and via the NEPTUNE magazine the readers will land there. So no need for large redaction boards and "pre-press" staff. If you are part of a naval service group, or are a manufacturer of naval aviation products and wish to share a story, we will gladly publish it if it fits the context. It will also enhance Third Fleet's editorial capabilities, namely Miramar's, by adding a complete new set of photography special sections to our web based media.
