This week, I celebrated Thanksgiving with our Soldiers. During this meal, I tried to see as many Soldiers as possible in our Training Battalion—up to about 700 Soldiers.
I am always interested at the many different names Soldiers call their Chaplain.
Some use: Padre’, Captain, Chap, Chapee, Father, Sir, and, of course, Chaplain.
When asked, I prefer the term “Chaplain”. But, whatever they call me is fine—as long as they call me.
Chaplain Andrews says
Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate the stories of other Chaplains like the one that made an impact on you!
David Rupert says
Grateful for the service you do. Chaplains were a great comfort and source of inspiration during my duties around the world.
