From the E-6 point of view... last time I served, it was with a services flight in the reserves. The chaplain spent a LOT of time with us for some reason. Something about cooks, I suppose. ;)

We often prayed together as a unit during lunch breaks and after hours (if the chaplain was there).

It was never an issue, and maybe it was just the makeup of the flight (which wasn't racially or socially homogenous), but it was just never an issue.

I personally think the 'Integrity First' thing pretty much covers it. You don't have to put up with prostletyzing by superiors, and shouldn't do it to your troops.

That said, if a young airman came to me with a bad case of conscience, I would counsel them as able, and certainly refer them to the chaplain. Or refer the chaplain to them.

I don’t think there’s anything inconsistent in your position and mine. Have a great Air Force day!
