A Few Important Updates for the Chaplain Corps

First, I pray that each of you has been able to spend some time with friends and family during this Holiday Season.  I know it is about the only time that some of us get to be with loved ones from whom we are separated for most of the year.

It has been a challenging year for me, health wise, but a new doctor and a different course of treatment has begun to bring about some improvements.  Thank you for keeping me in your prayers.  The church here at Summerville has been very patient with me as I try to keep up with the work and deal with health issues as well.  I am very thankful that the Lord saw fit to bring me to such a wonderful congregation.

I have been remiss in keeping up contact with all of you, and for that I ask your pardon.  I will do my best to stay in better contact, and believe I can do so, as my health continues to improve.

Please make an effort to complete your Chaplain Statistical Reports online, from your eServices module, as soon as you can.  Reporting is mandatory for all chaplain corps personnel, whether active or not.  If you have no activity to report, National HQ still requires that you submit the online CAPF 34.  If you have questions, please let me know.

At some point, according to our Region Chaplain, NHQ will begin transferring non-reporting chaplains and CDIs to the 000 squadron, where they will remain until they become compliant with reporting requirements.  Chaplain corps personnel who have been assigned to the 000 squadron cannot perform unit duties until they are placed back on the active roll of their unit.

I will do anything that I can to be of assistance to you.  Please feel free to contact me.

I pray that you will have a safe and enjoyable New Year's Eve, and that 2013 will be a blessed year for all of you!
