I'm hoping they mean Lieutenant Colonel.
This idiotic "don't pray in Jesus' name" garbage began all this nonsense in the military chaplaincy with those who thought that it was somehow neutral.
Buy a clue, chaplain trainers, IMPOSED neutrality is NOT free exercise. IMPOSED neutrality is a Government mandated preferred religion.
“I’m hoping they mean Lieutenant Colonel.”
The Navy would be very confused by that rank.
He is a Lt. Commander I think.
