CNIC
L.I.N.K.S. For Navy Spouses
The L.I.N.K.S. for Navy Spouses workshop provides information about the Navy’s mission, lifestyle, opportunities for sharing knowledge and information about available resources. Come meet other spouses, network, and share at this one-day workshop!
Please email mcbb_NavySupport@usmc.mil if you are interested in attending a workshop.
Ombudsman Basic Training (OBT)
Ombudsman Basic Training is required of all appointed ombudsmen who are volunteers within their Navy commands. It provides information to properly execute the duties of a command ombudsman. OBT is offered in two options – one being the traditional classroom setting from the local MCCS IDSS Certified Ombudsman Trainer and electronically, through eOBT. Both versions meet the training requirement detailed in the OPNAVINST 1750.1 series. As a volunteer, it is highly recommended that every ombudsman registers for the President's Volunteer Service Award.
Information can be found on our Volunteer page.
Please email mcbb_NavySupport@usmc.mil to schedule your Ombudsman Basic Training.
Ombudsman Advanced Trainings
Ombudsman Basic Training ensures that ombudsmen deliver a standard level of service to the Navy families. As ombudsmen grow in their roles, advanced trainings enable them to stay abreast of changes in services and to become familiar with new programs available to Sailors and their families. Advanced trainings begin after an ombudsman completes OBT.
Family Readiness Groups (FRGS)
The Family Readiness Group is a professionally run, volunteer organization that is governed by organizational bylaws. The FRG provides social, informational and morale building to enhance family readiness and enable local Navy families to meet the challenges of the Navy lifestyle. The FRG also provides direct support to families whose sailors are away as an Individual Augmentee. Trainings are eight hours.
