 One of the fundamental building blocks of professional naval chaplaincy is provision. We have four very unique capabilities, but the core's core is provision. Some would argue that the core or the most critical component of our capability is what we spend the most time doing. For the most junior of chaplains, that's on the deck plate, that's counseling, that's visiting, that's being in and among the sailors, marines, and coast guardsmen that we serve. For the most senior of chaplains, it's the administration in the planning and the shaping and designing of ministry that we're all involved in. It is our sacred privilege, both junior and senior alike, to demonstrate not just to safeguard the liberty that we own in religious freedom, but to demonstrate what it looks like and the value of preaching, teaching, the sacraments, and the fellowship that we share with those of like belief. I have a vision of a chaplain core that does not outgrow or outpromote the value of demonstrating provision in what we do, for that's what right looks like.
