NAVY FAMILY OMBUDSMAN PROGRAM
The Navy Family Ombudsman Program is designed to provide better and faster communication between Navy families and Navy leadership. Navy commands and all deploying units, including the reserves have an Ombudsman, typically a spouse of one of the command’s active duty members. Ombudsmen are official, appointed, liaisons between commanding officers and families. They can expedite communication between the command and families. In addition, Ombudsmen provide information on services, upcoming events, and/or help in crisis situations. Air Force Key Spouses & Family Readiness Assistants are similar to Ombudsmen, support service members, their families, and command leadership. Contact your command’s representative to be added to their distribution list. are you feeling crabby?
