* AN ISSUE THAT THE CHAPLAINS HAVE COME ACROSS IS THAT I GET INVITED TO
EVENTS AND ORGANIZERS SEEM TO FORGET THAT I WAS THERE, AND I AM NOT
TRYING TO BE CRITICAL BUT IT’S AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE CAP PROGRAM.
* WE NEED TO ENCOURAGE THE SQUADRONS TO APPLY FOR CD OFFICERS AND
EVEN CHAPLAINS TO HELP US GROW THE PROGRAM.
* IT APPEARS THAT SQUADRONS NEED TO CREATE MORE INTERESTS AROUND THE
CHAPLAIN PROGRAM.
* OUR CHAPLAINS HAVE OVER 31 YEARS OF SERVICE AND ARE THERE TO HELP
SUPPORT OUR SQUADRONS AND ALL WING FUNCTIONS.
* WE NEED TO UTILIZE OUR CHAPLAINS ALLOT MORE THAN WE HAVE IN THE
PAST.

* AN ISSUE THAT THE CHAPLAINS HAVE COME ACROSS IS THAT I GET INVITED TO
EVENTS AND ORGANIZERS SEEM TO FORGET THAT I WAS THERE, AND I AM NOT
TRYING TO BE CRITICAL BUT IT’S AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE CAP PROGRAM.
* WE NEED TO ENCOURAGE THE SQUADRONS TO APPLY FOR CD OFFICERS AND
EVEN CHAPLAINS TO HELP US GROW THE PROGRAM.
* IT APPEARS THAT SQUADRONS NEED TO CREATE MORE INTERESTS AROUND THE
CHAPLAIN PROGRAM.
* OUR CHAPLAINS HAVE OVER 31 YEARS OF SERVICE AND ARE THERE TO HELP
SUPPORT OUR SQUADRONS AND ALL WING FUNCTIONS.
* WE NEED TO UTILIZE OUR CHAPLAINS ALLOT MORE THAN WE HAVE IN THE
