Comment by ❤ ℐℯnnifℯr ❤ on January 6, 2011 at 1:15am
i asked my neighbor who is an MA cause fraternization falls under the Uniform Code of military justice (UCMJ) and she said no spouses are not held under that policy spouses can be friends with anyone no matter the rank.. she looked it up in the OPNAV Instruction and read it off to me..
when i said some commands sometimes ignores when a lower rank is friends with a higher rank i was referring to the military personnel not spouses.. sorry i reread what i wrote and it sounded like i was talking about the spouses and i wasn't.. 
sorry not trying to start a debate but i just want other wives to know it is okay to befriend anyone no matter the rank of the husband when my hubs was a an e3 i know i did not get along with any of the other wives who's hubs was around the same rank i have always gotten along with older people and the older people happened to be wives of the higher ranked..  so if spouses had fallen under that policy i would have no friends :(

@ Kate G- yes he will be asked each deployment to fill out who he wants to have info and to make sure everything is correct.. the main concern is not the FRG cause they are just party planners and for support (great support they are it's just not my thing) but if you want boat info you need to be on the Ombudsman roster.. but if he doesn't get asked he needs to talk to his command about getting you added..
Comment by ❤ ℐℯnnifℯr ❤ on January 5, 2011 at 6:50pm

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

Comment by ❤ ℐℯnnifℯr ❤ on January 5, 2011 at 6:23pm

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

@ emilylane- fraternization is only for the military personnel they are the ones in the military not us wives/husbands we can be friends with anyone now when i was the CO's wife friend in kingsbay we would go out for coffee have lunch but it was just us 2 our husbands (my hubs was an e4 then) never hung out lol. but also fraternization is also more on a surface than sub the sub community seems to be more lenient on the whole subject, my hubs friend who we hung out with was an E6.
Comment by ❤ ℐℯnnifℯr ❤ on January 5, 2011 at 5:46pm
girlfriends, fiancees, wives, and family can all have access to the FRG and ombudsman the sailor has to send it through the CO first and he will have to put whomever he wants to have info on the frg list and ombudsman roster...
Comment by ❤ ℐℯnnifℯr ❤ on January 4, 2011 at 7:14pm

@ 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..

Comment by ❤ ℐℯnnifℯr ❤ on January 4, 2011 at 6:57pm

@ 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
