Command Ombudsman

The Navy Family Ombudsman program was created in 1970 by Admiral Elmo Zumwalt Jr. and was re-emphasized in 2007 by Admiral Michael G. Mullen, CNO, with the OPNAVINST 1750.1F. Ombudsmen are volunteers, appointed by the Commanding Officer to serve as an information link between the command leadership and Navy families. I am here as a resource of information; to assist and guide you and your family as needed. I am a liaison for all Navy families, no matter where your Active Duty spouse may be. 

Again, welcome aboard and remember:  should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

What is an Ombudsman?

The ombudsman is a volunteer, chosen by the Commanding Officer, on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. An ombudsman is a spouse of an active duty or selected reserve member assigned to the command who serves as the official liaison between the command and its families. The ombudsman assists the CO in maintaining the morale and welfare of the command's active duty service members and its families.
