And folks wonder why military guys cherish Federal Holidays so much! After a couple deployments someone will understand.<BR/><BR/>Sad to see the scarcity of chaplains, but I'm sure they've got a vast country side to minister to. I know from the Iraq context this is true, especially for the Catholic Chaplains. First time I was there they had 12 priests in the entire country! We had mass at COP Rawah one week in three, the rest of the time it was done by lay ministers.
