w. F 5 wt V stub-', v 5' I COMM D MASTER CHIEF he Master Chief of the Command functions as principle enlisted adviser to the Commanding Officer. The job consists of making better communications possible at all levels of command and to foster a Keener sensitivity to the needs and viewpoints of enlisted men and their dependents. The Command Master Chief is responsible to keep the Commanding Officer up to date on situations, procedures and practices that affect the welfare, morale and well being of the enlisted crew. He assists the Commanding Officer and Executive Officer in formulating policy that concerns the enlisted personnel of the command. The Command Master Chief's advice is particularly helpful to the command on matters concerning the morale and quality of life for enlisted personnel and their dependents, as well as helping to solve personal problems or correcting situations that could be potential problems. Through the Command Master Chief, every sailor, regardless of rank or station, has a secure line of communication to the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, and, ultimately, to the Chief of Naval Operations. STCMCSWJGUSTIN, USN arbara l-lumiston has been the ST. LOUIS Ombudsman since 17 August 1985, relieving Deborah Brimhall. Her Assistant Ombuds- man, Tammy Fesmire, is very supportive to the Ombudsman pro- gram. The Navy Ombudsman Program was initiated in October 1970 by the Chief of Naval Operations. While establishing the Ombudsman program, he set these specific guidelines: f'The importance of the Navy wife as a member of the Navy Team cannot be over emphasized. Although the welfare of wives has always been of great concern to the Navy, wives have never had an official representative to express their views to commanding officers and base commanders. This Navy Wives Ombudsman concept shall reflect and build upon related activ- ities in existing wives organizations and the Navy services and benefits councils... let's listen carefully to an official representative. The Ombudsman really comes into focus when the ship is at sea. That is when her job is the most important and when people depend on her most. She keeps the families informed concerning ship's deployment, and takes care of problems that may arise with the wives and children. She gets in touch with the proper people to help solve the problems and she depends on and works closely with the DAT fOependents Assistant Teamj. The Navy is a family of dedicated people sharing something very special which is a tradition and legacy of performance, a history and custom of helping one another. Helping fellow Navy members is what the Ombudsman Program is all about MRS. BARBARA HUMISTON MRS. TAMMY FESMIRE f K0 fx OMBUDSMA + '1--4'-4
