NEW ORLEANS (NNS) -- Communicating with more than 100,000 Navy reservists and other key constituents worldwide has been a daunting task over the years. However, the commander of Navy Reserve Forces Command (CNRFC), launched 21st century technology June 25 to solve an age-old challenge.
Reservists and others interested in the Navy Reserve Force can sign up for CNRFC’s list server for reserve-related information via e-mail. The list server, a computer server designed to automatically manage mailing lists with thousands of subscribers, will replace the current force e-mail distribution list (FEDL), which currently uses large distribution lists in the Microsoft Outlook program to send information to 8,000 recipients.
People can subscribe for up to 13 e-mail groups at https://listserv.navyreserve.navy.mil. The service is open to everyone. Topics include news, training and mobilization opportunities, benefits and family issues. Further, people can easily unsubscribe from any list whenever they choose.
