FAREWELL, SHILOH
Louisiana Gold Families, This will be my last note to you, as I will tender my resignation at the end of the month. It has truly been an honor to serve as your Ombudsman for the past two and a half years. I have met so many amazing people and learned so much from all of you. My family and I will be moving to upstate New York in the spring, and we are really excited for the new adventure! This move will be bittersweet though, as we truly feel at home here in Washington, and will miss many of you. This past two months, I have been slowly but surely going through the transition process of turning over to Miranda and Alexis. They have now fully taken over the position of Ombudsman, and will make an effective team. I hope to see many of you over the next few months before we leave. Regards, Shiloh Mahmood Navy Family Ombudsman USS LOUISIANA SSBN-743 (Gold)
