Hello and welcome we would like to take the time to answer some questions and introduce ourselves;
The Ombudsman Program is a command-operated program, intended to improve communication between the command and a Sailor's
family members. Navy Family Ombudsmen are communication links, information and referral resources, and advocates for command
family members.
The Ombudsman is a volunteer, appointed by the commanding officer, to serve as an information link between command
leadership and Navy families. Ombudsmen are trained to disseminate information both up and down the chain of command,
including official Department of the Navy and command information, command climate issues, local quality of life (QOL) improvement
opportunities, and “good deals” around the community.
They also provide resource referrals when needed. They are instrumental in resolving family issues before the issues
require extensive command attention. The command ombudsman program is shaped largely by the commanding officer’s
perceived needs of his/her command. The command ombudsman is appointed by and works under the guidance of the commanding officer
who determines the priorities of the program, the roles and relationships of those involved in it, and the type and level
of support it will receive.
Please excuse some of the pages we are still under construction.
