For Sgt. Charles Hayes, being a chaplain’s assistant is a lot different than working as a shipping and receiving dock team leader back home in West Point, Ky.
In his civilian career, Hayes ships and receives items through courier services, manually loads and unloads semi trucks, and also refurbishes laptops and screen TVs for various businesses and individuals.
Hayes has been working in the shipping and receiving field for 12 years and as a chaplain’s assistant for 11 years. While the two jobs have nothing in common, Hayes revealed he chose his particular MOS to fulfill a more spiritual and personal need.
“I assist the chaplain in setting up religious services, administrative paperwork, and [personal security],” said Hayes. “I became a chaplain’s assistant because I wasn’t sure on my religious background, and I figured that this job would help me find my religious background.”
