Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith, God, Chaplains and Corpsmen are a big part of my life. I truly believe there are people who need to hear my testimony about being a corpsman in the Vietnam War and know that through God all things are possible. For example, there are veterans and their family members who struggle with PTSD, moral injury, disability, and loss of faith in God. I wrote this book to give my testimony, to make it available for others. So, even if this book only helps just one person, then the writing of this book will not be in vain. In this book, you will find men of honor and men of high moral character, You will also find love and loathing, togetherness and loneliness, courage and fear, You will surely find fact and fiction, hope and despair, and man's inhumanity to man. The most powerful theme throughout this books is God's place in your life. May your troubles reveal that you need God. May your battles end the way they should. May your bad days prove that God is still good. May your trials and tribulations keep you near the cross. May your whole life reveal that God is sovereign. May God Bless You And Those Around You.

Download or read book Change and Conflict in the U S Army Chaplain Corps Since 1945 written by Anne Loveland and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2014-03-30 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Army chaplains have long played an integral part in America’s armed forces. In addition to conducting chapel activities on military installations and providing moral and spiritual support on the battlefield, they conduct memorial services for fallen soldiers, minister to survivors, offer counsel on everything from troubled marriages to military bureaucracy, and serve as families’ points of contact for wounded or deceased soldiers—all while risking the dangers of combat alongside their troops. In this thoughtful study, Anne C. Loveland examines the role of the army chaplain since World War II, revealing how the corps has evolved in the wake of cultural and religious upheaval in American society and momentous changes in U.S. strategic relations, warfare, and weaponry. From 1945 to the present, Loveland shows, army chaplains faced several crises that reshaped their roles over time. She chronicles the chaplains’ initiation of the Character Guidance program as a remedy for the soaring rate of venereal disease among soldiers in occupied Europe and Japan after World War II, as well as chaplains’ response to the challenge of increasing secularism and religious pluralism during the “culture wars” of the Vietnam Era.“Religious accommodation,” evangelism and proselytizing, public prayer, and “spiritual fitness”provoked heated controversy among chaplains as well as civilians in the ensuing decades. Then, early in the twenty-first century, chaplains themselves experienced two crisis situations: one the result of the Vietnam-era antichaplain critique, the other a consequence of increasing religious pluralism, secularization, and sectarianism within the Chaplain Corps, as well as in the army and the civilian religious community. By focusing on army chaplains’ evolving, sometimes conflict-ridden relations with military leaders and soldiers on the one hand and the civilian religious community on the other, Loveland reveals how religious trends over the past six decades have impacted the corps and, in turn, helped shape American military culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chaplain Richard M. Budd has made a welcome, concise, well written and researched contribution to an overlooked chapter in chaplain history. Anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of how the professional and fully institutionalized chaplaincy of today's military came about would do well by consulting Budd's book." --Bradley L. Carter, On Point. Military chaplains have a long and distinguished tradition in the United States, but historians have typically ignored their vital role in ministering to the needs of soldiers and sailors. Richard M. Budd corrects this omission with a thoughtful history of the chaplains who sought to create a viable institutional structure for themselves within the U.S. Army and Navy that would best enable them to minister to the fighting men. Despite the chaplaincy's long history of accompanying American armies into battle, there has never been consensus on its role within the military, among the churches, or even among chaplains themselves. Each of these constituencies has had its own vision for chaplains, and these ideas have evolved with changing social conditions and military growth. Moreover, chaplains, acting as members of one profession operating within the specific environment of another, raised questions of whether they could or should integrate themselves into the military. In effect they had to learn to serve two institutional masters, the church and the government, simultaneously. Budd provides a history of the struggle of chaplains to professionalize their ranks and to obtain a significant measure of autonomy within the military's bureaucratic structure--always with the ultimate goal of more efficiently bringing their spiritual message to the troops.

This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chaplain, Vol. 31 The Navy has proposed a reduction of 35 of its flag officers in 1974, 75 and 76. Twenty-six of these would be from the Unrestricted Line, three from the Restricted Line and six from the Staff Corps. One of the latter reductions would be from the Chaplain Corps, leaving a single Rear Admiral among approximately 860 chaplains. Chaplaincy committees and executives of several major religious bodies have expressed concern to the Secretary of the Navy regarding the wisdom and rationale for includ ing the chaplaincy in this proposed reduction. The chap lainey in each of the military services has had two generals Or admirals on active duty for many years. They have not contributed to the great inflation of general and flag officers in other areas. It is interesting to note that the Army and Air Force recently selected new brigadier generals to be assigned as Deputy Chiefs of Chaplains. Only the Navy proposes to move in the opposite direction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Feb. 2, 2019, the skies over Maynardville, Tennessee, filled with the roar of four F/A-18F Super Hornets streaking overhead in close formation. In each aircraft were two young female flyers, executing the first all-woman Missing Man Formation flyover in Navy history in memory of Captain Rosemary Mariner — groundbreaking Navy jet pilot, inspiring commander, determined and dedicated leader — whose drive to ensure the United States military had its choice of the best America had to offer, both men and women, broke down barriers and opened doors for female aviators wanting to serve their country. Selected for Navy flight training as an experiment in 1972, Mariner and her five fellow graduates from the inaugural group of female Naval Aviators racked up an impressive roster of achievements, and firsts: first woman to fly a tactical jet aircraft; first woman to command an aviation squadron; first female Hurricane Hunter; first pregnant Navy pilot; plaintiff in a federal lawsuit that overturned limits on women's ability to fulfill their military duty. Leading by example, and by confrontation when necessary, they challenged deep skepticism within the fleet and blazed a trail for female aviators wanting to serve their country equally with their male counterparts. This is the story of their struggles and triumphs as they earned their Wings of Gold, learned to fly increasingly sophisticated jet fighters and helicopters, mastered aircraft carrier landings, served at sea and reached heights of command that would have been unthinkable less than a generation before. And it is the story of the legacy they left behind, one for which the women performing the Navy’s first Missing Woman Flyover in Mariner’s memory owe a debt of gratitude.
