How to contact C.O. of a ship? Military Folks and serious answers, please?

Question

My Husband's ship is coming home.. soon. Unfortunately, the first day in... the *whole bloody ship* is going to be *stuck* on board for the stupid Chief Pinning! Even if it were my own husband getting pinned... I would still think it stupid to torment those who have been held so long away from their families! How do I anonamously (hey.. I want to ***** but I'm not getting my hubbie in trouble!) contact the C.O. to complain?

Its too late to snail mail.

I live in a remote housing area, and the Ombudsmen don't pay much attention to those of us living out here :(

Thank you, submariner. But luck has nothing to do with it! ;)

Thanks, KatVic, I appreciate that.

And thank you, MC.. I understand its important, I was in myself for awhile, but I'm just irratated at the timing of it. Like, why not the day *before* pull in?

Oh! Well, if they had no choice... I guess I feel a bit better about it then. Thank you Jerry D!

fr_ls... if you had READ the whole bloody thing.. you would KNOW that it is the TIMING I *HAD* an issue with... I have been in the navy and was decorated, *MY* captain always did everything he could for ships morale (in fact, same ship my husband is on now) and it has NOTHING to do with "getting screwed" it has EVERYTHING do to with 2 little girls expecting to see daddy and now being told they have to wait another day! You're the kind of chiefs wife that makes the rest of the navy wives shudder!

Answer 1

Try not complaining and tough it out... while I realize your separation seems eternal, I've been in the Navy for 26 years, and have been there done that... now, I'm a Master Chief. Some things cannot be helped! The Navy, the Ship, and the Sailors in it owe the new CPOs the time required for the pinning ceremony... and it is an important evolution for THE WHOLE SHIP... not just the new CPOs. I hope some day it is your husband getting pinned... then u will understand! Your husband, his CMC, his CO and the new CPOs are only doing their jobs.... let them!!! Support them!!! and thank you for your support to the Navy! Signed, The Master Chief!

All CPOs are pinned Sep 15th!!! Navywide... the CO didn't choose the date...

Answer 2

Sorry to say that is a mandatory event all sailors have to attend. A "Muster" they call it. Trying to complain to the C.O. is virtually an exercise in futility. For one, he will not even see that mail, secondly, chances are if they connect that letter to your husband, you are going to make his life on board that ship completely and utterly dreadfull. Not to mention he may get reprimanded as well. And third, Sweety you have waited this long for your Husband, whats a few more day's, give or take a week? It will only make it that much more special when you do see him! I would suggest that instead of focusing your energy in trying to contact the C.O.,, Use it instead on preparing for his arrival! Getting some of his favorite foods together that he has not had in a long time for a nice-supper together, choosing a "Nighty" to wear that evening that you know will surprise him, as well as excite him, maybe have a few C.D.'s lined up in the player to help set a romantic atmosphere, and the list goes on. I believe your energy would be wisely spent on those things rather than trying to contact someone you will never have a chance to talk to, see what I mean? Hope this helps you out Hun. Also hope you have a most enjoyable and memorable evening/night with your husband! Take--Care, And Have Fun! God Bless America, Her Allies, And Our Troops! 1st. Sgt., 7th Special Forces, (Ret.)

Answer 3

The fact that you stated a "stupid Chief Pinning" tells me you know nothing about the Navy or who runs the Navy. The Chief Petty Officers run the Navy and if you have to wait 24 more hours to get screwed in order for your husband to pay tribute to those folks who have earned this pinning, too damn bad. Also, you complaining to the CO of a ship, makes your husband look like an *** for marrying someone as shallow and stupid as you are while pissing off the CO at the same time. Stay with what you know, nothing...


I guess I hit a nerve. I am no longer in the Navy so can take care of my puppy just fine as you were worried about in a previous question. It sounds to me like you are the typical Navy wife who sits around on her a## all day, is as fat as she is tall, and complains about how terrible it is in the Navy. I used to be an Ombudsman as well and there were several wives like yourself, married to a man that could make the sacrifice, but can't make none of your own. Weak, pitiful, needy, whiny, poor excuse for a wife. Your girls will live without "daddy" one more day, but with the attitute of their mother, it probably seems worse than what it really is. I have a hunch that your husband is a lower ranking person to have a wife like you, because after so many years, a wife learns what her husband has volunteered for and supports that, doesn't cry about it. If he is E-6 or above, he just married himself a lozer. The reason women like me make women like you "shudder" is because it shows you and the other women like you how weak you really are. Get a life!

Answer 4

If it is your husband's, then you know the mailing address. You also know the landline phone number. You should also have access to an e-mail address for that ship and it's command structure (aka chain of command: CO, XO, CMC, et al). Use those resources.

Also, most ship's have a spouse support group. This is usually headed up by a woman (or man in today's Navy) that is selected by the CO. There may be more than one. They are called OMBUDSMAN. They are the secondary link between the command structure of the ship and the spouses of the service members.

Give these avenues a run.

Answer 5

you're being paraniod. basically because of the fact somebody works in defense force intelligence does not at once cause them to hacker ideally suited. the only human beings interior the defense force that should with the help of interest definition do something remotely like this is the U. S. army's CTN score that are computing device protection experts. defense force intelligence can no longer legally collect intel on a US citizen and not using a warrant and that's provided that they are helping regulation enforcement. in case your worried approximately computing device protection get your self a firewall and an antivirus software. you additionally can do a "netstat -a" at a command line in living house windows to be certain all the lively connections, yet except you're experienced with networking it won't recommend plenty to you may misread the information into some thing this is not. Use a firewall.

Answer 6

Sadly due to security reasons there is no way to get ahold of the C.O. without giving your name. And then its doubtful that it would even get to the C.O., and while it may seem idiotic and tormenting it is something that I know alot of sailors hope to achieve, I hope to become a chief one day, if I stay in. Take it as it comes, and try contacting him but just not giving your name or use your maiden name, just don't name your husband. But leaving no name, thats not going to fly.

Answer 7

Being in the army.. I've had to hear my C.O complain enough about peoples wives,and grandmas calling them to say something.

Not trying to offend.
