 Martha Fowler visited Commander Fleet Activity Sausagebow to speak to sailors and families as one of only two Navy's ombudsmen at large working directly with the CNO. All the information from the commands funnels through to the families and that's what the ombudsman does. To have the time to travel wherever we have families around the world is, I consider, a real privilege. Fowler understands the concerns spouses may have for their families. I've been blessed as a Navy spouse and I think for me just having somebody touch your life that way has made me want to give back. Fowler hopes to improve family readiness by bringing the ideas and stories of Sausagebow back to Washington. Petty Officer Christina Coffey, Fleet Activities, Sausagebow, Japan.
