 The Navy has resources for your family to get the most up-to-date information and even contact you while out to sea. The Navy ombudsman is one of those resources. Ombudsmen are volunteers appointed by the commanding officer to serve as an information link between command leadership and Navy families. They're trained to disseminate information, Department of Navy information, command climate issues, and good deals around the communities such as events, tickets, entertainment, etc. They also provide resources and referral and are instrumental in providing assistance before requiring immediate command attention. To find your command ombudsman, go to ombudsmanregistry.org. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Brandy Wills.
