NBVC Fleet And Family Support Center

09/08/2026

In September, Fleet and Family Support Center recognizes our dedicated volunteer Ombudsmen who are the trusted connectors between active-duty commands and Navy families.

Ombudsmen play a vital role in ensuring families receive accurate, timely information while providing commands with an essential link to the needs and concerns of their households. Beyond communication, they help strengthen connection, support, and resilience across our Navy community.

To our Navy Ombudsmen, THANK YOU for your dedication to supporting military families and enhancing readiness in their communities 🙌
