ABSTRACT
Outside of participating in unit training missions, leading chapel services,
attending and leading various briefings, staff meetings and formations, my early
reserve weekends as an Army Reserve Chaplain included only a few soldiers
entering my office seeking counseling, usually for the communication challenges
they were experiencing in their marital or dating relationships. There was the
occasional religious debate or fun philosophical challenge, but most soldiers
understood the chaplain to be for when you needed prayer or needed to talk
about your marriage.
