Many comments have disappeared

Dear readers,

I regret to inform you that virtually all of the comments at ArmyChaplaincy.com disappeared unexpectedly and unexplainedly last week. Despite best efforts so far, we have been unable to recover them. We are still working to do so, but there seems little hope of recovery.

The problem seems to have occurred as the result of a glitch encountered when upgrading software on the back end of the site. This caused a catastrophic failure in the comment system, and we have been unable to fix the problem with backups.

This is quite an embarrassment and frustration to me, and I ask your forbearance. Please continue to leave your comments, and we will continue to interact.

There are still several new site features in the works, and you will see them soon. The best way to find out about these and other great things is to sign up for our free email newsletter.

Thanks for reading,

Daniel J. Sparks, Editor

Military praises 'fantastic' new post-traumatic stress therapy

Military praises ‘fantastic’ new post-traumatic stress therapyhttp://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=319737For the American soldier, it’s become the sneakiest of all sneak attacks to watch out for – the enemy’s final chance to wreak havoc by secretly following the soldier home and attacking him and his loved ones there.Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD – frequently characterized as “bringing the enemy home with you” – has become an epidemic in the U.S. military. But because of a dramatic breakthrough from the grassroots, there is new hope.

The problem is dire. Exacerbated by back-to-back tours of duty in a war environment where enemy combatants are often indistinguishable from civilians and every passing vehicle a potential car bomb, up to 20 percent of Iraq and Afghanistan war vets are currently struggling with PTSD,according to the federal Department of Veterans Affairs.

Things they don’t teach you in chaplain school

Chaplains, what’s one of those things you learned the hard way? What’s one of those things they didn’t teach at the schoolhouse? What’s one of those things that you learned in your first battalion through trial and error?

I’m brainstorming about something that, for now, I’ll simply call “Project Things They Didn’t Teach Me in Chaplain School,” and I’d like to hear about your experiences.

So, chaplains, what do you wish the instructors at CHOBC/CHBOLC had addressed but didn’t?

How to spell “chaplain”

The correct way to spell chaplain is C-H-A-P-L-A-I-N.

Note, the critical second “A”.

Ways that chaplain is sometimes incorrectly spelled:

  • chaplin
  • chapalin
  • chaplian
  • chaplan
  • chaplen
  • chapalan
  • caplain

You might think I’m joking, but these are actual search terms used to find this website via Google or other search engines. They are also used to search within the site.

Chaplain assistant is also sometimes incorrectly spelled in these ways (only addressing the assistant part):

  • assistent
  • asistant
  • asistent
  • asstant

Other commonly misspelled words used when searching for info on this site:

  • transcripts (trabscripts, transcrips)
  • marriage (marraige, marrage, merriage)
  • accreditation (accredition, acreditation, acredation)
  • candidate (canidate, candate, cantidate)
  • chaplaincy (chaplincy, chaplency, chapliancy)

If you’re searching for something here but can’t find it, check your spelling, and you may be able to locate the item.

About The Army Chaplain

The Army Chaplain: His Office, Duties, and Responsibilities, and the Means of Aiding Himwas originally published in 1863. William Young Brown, the author, was one of the first Army hospital chaplains. President Abraham Lincoln personally requested that Brown serve in this position prior to the authorization of military hospital chaplains by Congress.

This historic text contains advice and guidance for military chaplains in all positions. While circumstances of the Nineteenth Century were different than those faced today, the principles contained herein are applicable for ministry in today’s military environment. Chaplains will find in this book encouragement and admonition to be wholly engaged in preaching the gospel and in providing pastoral care to those in their charge.

This reprint edition includes the unabridged text in a new typesetting.

Spiritual Basic Training – Christian Newswirehttp://www.christiannewswire.com/news/1043816949.htmlBefore a soldier faces combat, he or she must attend basic training. Training is both physical and psychological as these courageous men and women prepare to fight and defend. They don’t train as a precaution, “in case you happen to encounter an enemy” but with full knowledge that a very real enemy is out there and that war is life-threatening, especially if you go in unprepared.
