(Editor’s Note: Spc. Jason Boatwright, a soon-to-be noncommissioned officer, describes in his own words the duties of a chaplain assistant and what NCOs bring to that career field)
The role of noncommissioned officers in the chaplain assistant ranks:
“I truly believe they are the backbone of the NCO support channel. A noncommissioned officer’s primary mission in our career field is to train junior Soldiers on what it means to be a chaplain assistant. It is imperative NCOs maintain that supervisory and mentoring role, ensuring junior Soldiers are properly trained and prepared for anything.”
