 In a deployed environment where communication with loved ones at home is at times nearly impossible, chaplains play a unique role in the lives of their marines and sailors, ensuring the morale of the unit is as high as possible. And it's a bond it's hard to describe but it's through the relationships and I think that's the best part about it is when someone that you never thought would ever talk to you just comes to say you got a second and that's when I know I'm like yeah it works and that's why I'm here and that's why the Marine Corps keeps me. Chaplains continue to serve in times of war and peace carrying on the mission of the Navy Chaplain Corps serving God, America and America's sea services. Reporting from Ford Operating Base Geronimo, I'm Corporal Meredith Brown.
