Nise615...It is very important for your son to place a close relative on the Ombudsman list. Preferably it is usually the mother if they are single. If they are married, then it will be the wife. The ombudsman are the liaisons (wives appointed) between the Navy families and Navy Commands and can assist you & help direct you with problems that may develop during a deployment or underway. They will provide you with an e-mail and phone number for the ombudsman once your son places you on the list, BUT, your son "Has" to provide them with that information. It is good to communicate & remind your son "who" or "If" he has placed anyone on that list. There is a phone tree the ombudsman use to contact the listed person he has placed in the event something changes with their deployments. The listed person will also receive monthly e-mails from the Ombudsman.
Subwife2002, if you need to correct or add anything, please do so, as we will value your input!! ;)

Yes, there are two Facebook pages, an open one and a closed one, which you can join, for family members. Just do a search when you go on Facebook -- they're easy to find. Are you on the Ombudsman list yet? They're also a great resource for family members.

Rachel, I was hoping he was the second one from the right, not left, holding the POW Flag. It was just by chance this still photo showed up when I was researching the link to send you for the UTube video. Just go on UTube and put in " San Diego Chargers Opening Ceremony Military Salute 2013. A few different very short videos will come up for you to choose from. I tried to reach out to my DIL to look, but that didn't work out. I'm so Happy to have helped you, I know how important it is to see them in a ceremony. I clicked on a link that went to a Navy Newspaper called 'Americas Navy". In the search block of the top right, put in this story #. NNS130903-13 and the article with the picture on the right will come up.
