Ombudsman

Ombudsmen are volunteers appointed by the commanding officer to serve as a primary link/liaison between the commanding officer, command, and command family members. The ombudsman’s main job is to communicate information and concerns between the command families, the command, and the commanding officer.

The program was created in 1970 by then-Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Elmo Zumwalt. He recognized that Navy families face many unique issues and concerns and established the Navy Family Ombudsman Program in Z-gram 24 so they would have a way to express their concerns and receive assistance. Since it's creation, the ombudsman program has evolved and adapted to meet the needs of the commands and the Navy families.

Your NRC and Force Ombudsmen receive training that emphasizes the importance of CONFIDENTIALITY. Some issues may require us to seek outside support (including potential or attempted suicide, suspected and established child abuse and/or neglect, established spouse abuse, drug and/or alcohol abuse, potential homicide or violent life threatening behavior) as defined in the Ombudsman Instruction Manual (OPNAVINST 1750.1). Our job is to help you in anyway we can, by providing information and referrals.

Government Leased Housing

Recruiting personnel are often assigned to locations where housing costs are not adequately documented and supported by the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH), and where military housing is not available within a reasonable commuting distance. In some cases, recruiters are required to pay far more out of pocket expenses for housing costs than their peers in the "Fleet."

To improve housing quality of life for recruiters and their families, Commander Navy Recruiting Command (CNRC) arranged with the Army Corps of Engineers to procure leased housing in conjunction with the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Family Housing Headquarters.

"All personnel meeting the eligibility requirements are encouraged to apply and submit their application to their Recruiting District."

The following information outlines the procedures for applying for this highly successful Quality of Life program:
1. Member fills out the Government Leased Housing Application.
2. Application goes to the member's Recruiting District.
3. Command certifies member is qualified and forwards application request to CNRC Headquarters.
4. CNRC reviews, approves and coordinates funding and forwards to the District Army Corps of Engineers Realty Specialist.
5. The Realty Specialist determines fair market value, locates home, contacts member and signs the lease.

 

All NRC personnel eligible for BAH are eligible. If accepted you will forfeit your BAH at time of move in.

More over, to qualify, both of the following unsuitable conditions must exist:
- Actual or anticipated out-of-pocket expenses are greater than BAH + 7.5%
- Permanent duty assignment is located in a remote location which is greater than one hour commute from a military installation with family housing assets (or bachelor housing assets for bachelors)

OR

- Distance is greater than 20 miles.

Members are also required to have at least 12 months remaining before anticipated Projected Rotation Date.
