Welcome from the Ombudsman
To the new addition to the USS SAN ANTONIO and family,
I wanted to personally welcome you and your family members aboard the USS SAN ANTONIO. The San Antonio is filled with wonderful people and tremendous support. With that said, I wanted to introduce myself to you; I’m the USS SAN ANTONIO Ombudsman. I’m here to help with any support your family may need, whether it be your spouse, children, or extended family back home.
Deployment can be a tough time for families, due to the length of time you are away from home. I hope to be able to assist during this time and while you are in port. I’m here to answer questions your family members may have or any concerns that may arise. I also understand that moving from one location to another can be stressful and scary. I hope to be able to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Not only is the Ombudsman available for assistance, but we also have a Family Readiness Group (FRG). The FRG is a social network for family members to get together and meet new people. This is a very helpful organization especially during deployment.
If you would like to add any family members to the distribution list for the Ombudsman and/or Family Readiness Group, I have included a form at the bottom. The information can be sent back to me via your chain of command or emailed to the address below. Keep in mind; parents are always welcome to participate in our FRG. Information that would be distributed by email would be upcoming Fleet & Family Support Center events or workshops, USS SAN ANTONIO Family Events, as well as everyday information from the command.
Thank you for serving our country, I look forward to meeting you and your family.
Sincerely,
USS SAN ANTONIO Ombudsman
