“What is there about the Army’s culture that is different?”

---

My brother is active duty Navy and has worked with Army people extensively. He says that Army culture is big on specific instructions, and there are extensive written procedures for just about everything. By contrast, in the Navy, the instructions are more general, and the people are expected to figure it out.

He says the Navy is focused on the ship, and the Army is focused on the people. The culture variance starts from there.

He was recently in an assignment where the leaders were Navy and the workers were Army. The lack of respect for, and ability to work with, the two cultures made the working environment perfectly awful. Eventually the Naval officer in charge was replaced, but the new officer in charge will have a lot of work on his or her hands.

The Army does not want a chaplain that preaches Christianity or any other religion for that matter. The Army seeks chaplains that motivate troops, give them a moral basis for why they should give it their all, why they should feel bad etc. The Army wants the chaplain to have a “systems sense” and to re-prioritize their their agenda to serve the military, not God.

That is an unfortunate reality and the chaplaincy is doing exactly that. Where else can you get a job as a preacher and make the pay of an O3 or O4, even O5 and not have to worry about what is in the collection this week?

Very bad decision - destroying freedom of religion and speech in one blow. Anyone who does not see that this administration is quickly becoming a dictatorship needs to get out more.

Would not any directives come through the Military Ordinate?
