Finding Husbands Chain of Command?

Question

Hi there.
My husband is stationed in HI and I am stateside with my children from a previous marriage. He has been turned in by soldiers for a suicide watch to the Chaplain. He will not release information. My husband has been refusing to tell me his chain of command for weeks as I have showed my concern. (I'm a new Army wife) How can I find this out? Every phone call I make to the base sends me in circles. He is a 63 Sierra with the 8th TSC at Schofield Barracks. Not one person will tell me where he is, if he is ok or even still alive. I need to know exactly who to call, what to say and who is who.
Thank you so much for any help!

Answer 1

If you are getting no help from the calls there are two things you can do. The first is to see if you can find the military website for his post, and contact someone high-up at the post. Sometimes they even have the companies listed on the web so you may find a list there. The other thing is to contact the red cross, they should be able to help you.

Answer 2

You stated he was on suicide watch and will not release any information. I don't think you will be able to find out much until this all blows over. If he wants it that way, his command, and likely the mental health professionals working with him will respect those wishes.

I would contact the Commanding General Office at Schofield Barracks. They may not be able to tell you where he is, but they will likely look into it, and get you some information.

Instead of calling write a letter and express your concerns.. make sure that you articulate all the information you have received and from whom.....copy the letter to your local military recruiter, local news, look in your yellow pages under government and copy every one down the line. Once the military knows that there are other offices aware of your life and death concerns about your husband..... one of those offices will take action. If you don't here from them with in two weeks, send the letters again and make sure you mention that this is the second time you have send the letters, also contact your local doctor and explain to him how hard this is for you and if there is anything he can do to help you or your husband and make sure that you document that and send a third letter out.... don't forget the TV station (the media). Don't give up, do all you can, in writing!!!!! to get the answers you need!!!!!! Don't forget that your local court judge is an elected official and if he knows what is going on....and... does "nothing" hell...... let Federal citizens information center (on your yellow pages) know.(copy of all you letters) go to WWW.firstgove.gov, ......look up your congress senator and representatives....The pen can be mightier than the sword! Good luck!.......smile

Answer 4

The fastest way to get results is via the Red Cross. Tell them you have no idea where your husband it at nor what his condition is. Tell the Red Cross you want to be contacted by his Chain of Command.

You'll have results in 24 hours or less.

Answer 5

Are you a military member? If not, BAH is for the member not for the spouse. I know it is very hard for you to hear that but you will have to fight a different battle and get on with your life. Money will be an more even important issue when you are forced to move out. You need to take care of your situation at home then get some stability for when he comes back.

Answer 6

You can try the base commander, or if that does not work, the Red Cross can locate him poste haste.

Good luck, and God bless..
