~The Ombudsmen~

The Role of Ombudsman: 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. ~https://www.nffsp.org/		WHAT IS AN OMBUDSMAN, I AM AN OMBUDSMAN By Gayle Brinkley Former Ombudsman Coordinator, FFSC London I am NOT a crutch, But I can support you I am NOT a counselor, But I know one I am NOT a taxi driver, But I can steer you in the right direction I am NOT a rescuer, But I can save lives I am NOT a babysitter, But I can refer you to a caregiver I am NOT a gossiper, But I am a great listener I am NOT an enabler, But I can provide tools to empower you I am NOT a master of anything, But I know many experts who understand your need I am NOT a Recreation or Health Specialist, But I am concerned about your Morale, Welfare & Health I am NOT a busybody as I've been called, But I am an Official Command Representative I AM a Navy Family Ombudsman And I AM of service to You The Navy Family
