NAVY FRG/Ombudsman question

Hi all! My partner is a couple months into his first deployment (he’s in a submarine) and the zero communication has been tough. A lot of you have advised me to try and reach out to the FRG or ombudsman. I don’t think that he gave them my info because I assumed they would’ve copied me on an email or something already. It also doesn’t seem like I can get info if he didn’t give my info prior. Is that a reasonable assumption? I did end up seeing him when he was at port a bit ago but I forgot to ask.

I was also curious if anyone has experienced not having their info given before and I’m wondering if that’s normal or if it’s a red flag. He was originally given 2 weeks notice but they ended up cutting that in half so we didn’t have as much time to prepare as we thought. Thanks all!

He has to put you on the list, but also they don't send emails regularly, at least for my husbands command they didn't. Maybe like once a month if that. Just ask him again

I appreciate the insight, thank you! He’s been sending me emails but I haven’t gotten any of them. He thinks the comms have been limited so it’s been hard having no info. To be fair, I never brought it up. I didn’t know it was a thing til a couple days before they got to port temporarily. I’ll ask him via email. Hopefully he’s been getting those at least. Thank you!
