lol yes i was fixen to add that i had to walk my pups.. it does vary from command to command but it is up to the sailor to put in them chits if they want their spouse, fiance, or g/f to have access to the FRG or ombudsman.. and true it is more likely that a spouse will be added and a g/f or fiance will not that is only cause the command doesnt just want anybody to have info so they might put some restrictions on what they can know or they might just say yea ummn no
what do you mean by taking chance? just curious, cause the last time i checked i was a civilian and if i am not doing anything illegal or being" bad" then i'm kosher.. not saying fraternization isn't in the sub community it is still there but when they are out of uniform rank is usually ignored.. but you can have 1 higher up who will frown on it :/ but he is just a fubby dub lol
I'm sorry but that info is wrong the sailor has to route a special request chit up through his command, there are wives who don't have access to the FRG and Ombudsman the way we get access is the sailor puts us on the roster for us to have access. so the same goes for g/fs, fiances, or any other family.
if the sailor does not put us on the roster we to will be cut out of any information
@ Kelsi- there is email access for all sailors they will set it up and he can email you whenerever he can
and homecomings wow in kingsbay ummn we never had a homecoming because of it being a boomer base but there were a couple times that a boat had a homecoming but it is rare.. if they do have 1 your hubs has to put you on the list to get information from the command ombudsman and frg.. you will need a background check after the background check you will be able to get a pass from pass and id..
so far that is all i can remember but i'll ask my hubs more when he gets home..
@ emilylane- i'm sorry things are starting off slow with making friends seems like you just moved there and just met the command wives but just give it time i am sure you will make friends..
@ashley swp- yes much boo to deployments but tis our lives haha
