USNHO Ombudsman Team
The Ombudsman is a volunteer, appointed by the commanding officer, to serve as an information link between command leadership and Navy families. Ombudsmen are trained to disseminate information both up and down the chain of command, including official Department of the Navy and command information, command climate issues, and local quality of life (QOL) improvement opportunities.
Ombudsmen also provide resource referrals when needed. They are instrumental in resolving family issues before the issues require extensive command attention. Ombudsman keep service members and families informed and help promote healthy, self-reliant Navy families.
USNHO’s Command Ombusdman team is made up of Hikaru Gray, Aya Espiritu, and Kelly Rockwood. Their mission is to serve you with the highest standards of professionalism, patience, reliability, and confidentiality. They have information on the many aspects of living on Okinawa, as well as resources on military and family life.
