 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Jonathan Pancall. Since 1775, Navy chaplains have answered the call to serve, providing sailors and their families with counseling, guidance, moral support, and worship opportunities. While at sea, in port, and even in the desert, service members and their family members have chaplains they can turn to. There are more than 100 faith groups represented in the Navy in Marine Corps. Chaplains inspire hope, strengthen spiritual well-being, and help ensure sailors and Marines remain mission ready. When you meet with a chaplain, you have a safe place to talk without fear or judgment, and whatever you say to a chaplain is in confidence unless you decide otherwise. If you need to talk or have questions, contact your command chaplain. Don't know who your chaplain is? Call Navy 311 to request support in your area.
