I would be really interested in hearing what you have to say, and what you had to do, if you ever feel like typing it out.
The first thing we had to deal with was an order that came from Adm White, who was then CNC, and said that we were no longer allowed to pray in the “Name of Jesus.” I had been asked by the family of a pilot, who had died in a crash, to conduct his funeral since they were Christian and members of my denomination. I got a call from a Rabbi senior chaplain insisting that he be included in the service. Mind you, this was a CHRISTIAN funeral service. It wasn’t some memorial service held in the base chapel. I told the Rabbi that this would in violation of the family’s wishes and against my denomination’s rules. He chewed my butt for about twenty minutes and told me that he would see to it that I would NEVER be promoted. That’s just two incidents. I could write a book.
