Ok, will do Rebecca! Thanks!

sosume, either way works! I hope you hear from her or him soon, give them at least 24 to 48 hours. Then if you don't hear from the ombudsman, contact again.
Glad to be of help. :D

Rebecca, thank you. This is the address my son gave me except for the HSC-2. That may be the missing link. I'll try it.
I also send an email to the HSC ombudsman yesterday but haven't heard from them. I didn't find them through the link you supplied though. I found them through the registry.

Please also know that if you have any questions as to whom the Ombudsman is for ANY Command you can obtain this information from the Fleet and Family Support Center (https://www.cnic.navy.mil/NorfolkSTA/FleetFamilyReadiness/NORFOLKHamptonRoads/index.htm ) *You can also google the location closest to you* They can answer all of your questions with regard to connecting with the right person. If your Sailor is serving an IA tour they can also connect you with the IA Family Connection Groups as well.
I hope you can find all of the valuable information obtained from the many well versed folks are providing you through Navy For Moms.
Have a great day everyone!!!!

Even the sandbox has an ombudsman, and yes ships have ombudsmans. The ombudsmans information is always on the Plan of Day on the ship. He can look at that and find out.

Do they just have an Ombudsman if they are on a ship? My sons never been on one and I dont think he will be. They like to send him to the sand box and theres no water there.

sosume,
Try this link out http://www.hsc2.navy.mil/index.php?id=958&secid=41
On the left hand side, there is a Command Ombudsman, you can click on that, but if you keep scrolling down, there is an address for famlies.
Here is what I found on the page
Upon arrival you are directed to report to the duty office, located at hangar SP-35, Naval Station Norfolk. The quarter deck can be reached at (757)445-5191.

If you or your family members need to forward mail to the command, our mailing address is as follows:

HSC-2
524 A Street
Norfolk, VA 23511-4010

Too funny Karen. But true. Jennifer, he's shore duty right now with the Fleet Angels. Am I allowed to say that?

When my son gives me a base address he usually has two different ones. Sorry to say Im guessing its just lost in the mail. When my son was in Iraq he got all mail within a week. Now that hes in the states the first box I sent him came back that he wasnt there even though he was (it took a couple weeks) the 2nd one I sent priority and it took 9 days. He had me mail that one to a friends house off base. Ive got a Halloween one on the way. We will see if he gets it. I live 45 minutes from my mother and she mailed me a letter 10 years ago and I still dont have it! LOL My bank is 5 blocks away from my house and it took my last back statement 20 days after it was post marked to get to me.

Do you know what command he is attached to? I.e. Is he on a ship, with some other command, etc.
