It would appear that the Air Force gives and the Air Force takes away. LOL
Months ago we were told that our chapel staff would be cut by 30-40%. We were also told that we had lost all appropriated funding to run chapel programs. This meant that we went from a staff of 5 chaplains to 3. We’ve begun to feel the cuts as one chaplain moved and was not replaced.
THEN we heard a rumor that the generals had told the powers that cut “don’t cut our chaplains”. The rumor continued that it had been decided that the chaplaincy would only be cut by 10% - the overages. We had no overages at our base. We began to hope that we would soon be back at 5 chaplains……this week we heard that we are getting someone to replace the chaplain who left….so it’s true….the Air Force took and now the Air Force is giving. We are all excited to have the extra man power coming back because the mission of this base with students and parish was to big for 3 chaplains to handle (especially when at least one is sure to be deployed these days).
