OMBUDSMAN OMBUDSMAN. It ' s a confusing title with no singular adequate definition. She is part command liaison, part communica- tor, part support-provider, part command representative and a dozen other critical parts. ' ' She is asked a thousand ques- tions and somehow finds equal answers. She is called upon by the Captain to make the unbearable seem bearable, to conjure smiles like rainbows during a long dreary rain and to do it all while sharing the pain Df separation from her husband. She is Terri Hatfield and she is nothing less than vvonderful. Terri helped prepare us all for the cruise Dy organizing critical pre-deployment briefs for both single |3nd married sailors. For many on their first separation, she Drovided valuable information on counseling, available na- zal services, and in quieter moments a friendly voice on a Dhone. Her role is as varied as the concerns she addresses on a daily basis. Her knowledge of the system helped point our Terri Hatfield tributed ily. loved ones in the right direction, whether it ' s information on Navy Relief or accessing the ship ' s schedule. She too is an invalu- able asset in squelching the many rumors which invariably surface during an ex- tended deployment. The importance of that last quality cannot be underesti- mated. While Anzio assumed her grueling un- derway schedule, Terri became the sole bastion of command representation on shore. She did so with professionalism be- fitting her roles and skill, but more impor- tantly she has done so with a personal touch and grace which significantly con- to the many triumphs realized by the Anzio Fam- FAMILY SUPPORT GROUP Pat Balisle Advisor L-R: Mary McQucsten. Sharon Shew. Sandy Waggoner, Phyllis Laidlcy, Pat Balisle. Rita Eddleman Cindy Kurzawa Advisor Perhaps the most difficult effect of a deployment is the stress and loneliness which so acutely touches every member of the Anzio Family. Our Family Support Group was the single greatest instrument in alleviating this ef- fect through their packages, videotapes, and cards sent by the dozens to those of us at sea, as well as the many events staged back home for the benefit of family and friends. Before departing in October we were given the opportunity to come together as a family through the many com- mand-sponsored events. There were meetings offering information and the chance to meet others about to face the same separation from their loved ones. After we left, our Family Support Group rallied to keep spirits buoyed through numerous parties and social ac- tivities meant to minimize the isolation of those back home and keep us all from eyeing the calendar of red cross marks through the expired days. Those activities included Halloween parties for our children, video opportuni- ties, the making of Christmas care packages for all crewmembers, a dining out and the spectacular Homecoming celebration. Anzio ' s Family Support Group bore the lion s share of keeping despair at bay when for weeks we were incapa- ble of hearing from our loved ones. They encouraged family members to meet and air their frustrations and anxi- eties, rather than suffering alone. Perhaps this, in spite of their many contributions, was their greatest achieve- ment. Not only did they afford us smiles during impossible times, but we at sea felt secure in knowing there was a sympathetic, understanding ear for our loved ones to turn to in our absence. We knew of our individual and collective loneliness at sea, but sometimes forgot that our families and friends suffered equally if not more. Anzio ' s Family Support Group never did. They never dwelt on misery, but instead embraced both crew and family members in their never-failing attempts to keep us all together through the missed milestones and forgotten holidays of the deployment. Our Homecoming Celebration on April 14th was a testament to their success and underscores the resilience of heart and courage over circumstance. rso 15
