 January 15th marks the 34th anniversary of the Religious Program Specialist Rating. Religious Program Specialist 3rd Class Petty Officer Ashley Schumacher from USS Carl Vinson explains a role of the RP's. The responsibilities of the RP are to facilitate and set up religious services to support the chaplains with administrative work. We also do community relation projects supporting the morale of the crew. RP's work alongside Navy and Marine Corps chaplains at sea and ashore and act as a source of personal security while in combat areas. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Shannon Burns.
