Radio Nets
Nets on GMRS are just like Amateur Radio nets, that wikipedia describes as: an "on-the-air" gathering of amateur radio operators. Most nets convene on a regular schedule and specific frequency, and are organized for a particular purpose, such as relaying messages, discussing a common topic of interest, in severe weather (for example, during a Skywarn activation), emergencies, or simply as a regular gathering of friends for conversation
It's worth reading that wikipedia page before joining a net, but the rule of thumb is, there will be someone in charge of the net who will control traffic, faciliate checkins, control who speaks when, and deal with any chaos or confusion that comes along.
