"Marie Chiaino has been such a wonderful resource at this duty station! I wish I had her wealth of information at previous locations! I get emails every day with events and useful tips! I have been so excited to take advantage of the resources that are available to us!! It's just nice to be in the KNOW!"

Thanks so much!

"Ms. Chiaino, I wanted to thank you for giving my wife a wealth of information! This is the first unit that we've been to that the ombudsman has contacted my wife. I think it's mostly my fault since I never got her in contact with the ombudsman. Now - it seems she knows more about what's going on than I do. It seems every day she telling me about a family event or upcoming Coast Guard function. I tend to get busy at work, so I have a bad habit of deleting those emails instead of forwarding them to my wife. You have saved me a lot of heart ache from not keeping my wife informed."

Respectfully,
