What ship?

The Ombudsman can contact the CMC or CO of the ship and get the info to your daughter (if the Ombudsman is a good one) SHE has the ships e-mail address to contact the CMC and CO only!

 

If the Ombudsman won't help, just send a letter to your daughter.  They have snail mail on the ship.

USS GreenBay

Angie, the Ombudsman is the one who asked me to send them the ships email to them......

not being rude, but not all ships do it that way.  Some do 5 letters of last name, and first letter of first name and first letter of middle name. Others do it with the first two letters of first name followed by 5 letters of last name.  Ever ship is different, I just looked at 6 people who I regularly talk to (via email) and all where different.

No he is correct, the older ships do it that way, but for some reason the newer ships sometimes do it differently.   I am just going off of the emails that I use when I email my friends on ships. 

 

Please keep posting info :~} 

 

http://www.public.navy.mil/surfor/lpd20/Pages/default.aspx is their website, click on the contacts and send an e-mail to the CMC. 

 

ummmm really the Ombudsman didn't know the e-mail address to the ship.  My 2 cents, not a very good one if she doesn't know how to contact the ship. 

 

If you send an e-mail to the CMC, let him/her know that the Ombudsman doesn't have a way to contact the ship.

Thank you Angie will for sure try this! I really appreciate you, this has been frustrating!

The link above should work, I really would let the CMC know about the Ombudsman not knowing how to contact the ship, that is what she is supposed to do!

 

Don't worry nothing will happen to your Sailor by you asking the CMC to have your Sailor e-mail you.  Only thing that might happen is your Sailor gets picked on for not contacting his mom, I know the Chief's don't take it to well when the jr Sailors don't stay in touch with their families.
