What are you opinions on Chaplain Assistants getting "Special Treatment" from their units?

Imagine a world where people mind their own business and stop presuming to know everyone elses.

No it's not special treatment, it is compensation for the long hours and being on call 24 hours a day. Whoever wrote this article needs a foot in the ass.

Aside from the fact that you don’t dick over your Chaplains’ assistants (or your medics for that matter), why don’t you just leave someone who got left off the roster alone? If he’s one of your joes, peers, or seniors, shit let them have some freedom. I know damn well if you weren’t on the roster you’d want everyone else to keep quiet. The moral: don’t bring other people down with you just cause you’re sucking

They work odd hours when they have to bring the Chaplain to help a soldier who wants to kill himself or something like that, usually at night when everyone is off work and partying or spending time with their families. It's only fair. No Different than cooks not pulling CQ and stuff. They work crazy hours.

This is the same as command staff drivers. Their duty could be 17+ hours a day and can't miss an assignment for CQ. People should worry about their own duties and stop trying to make things even for all. Is this really worth posting?

It’s what one signs up for. Get over it already. Cooks didn’t have other duties back in the nam era. Oh, probably no more cooks there are mickey d’s & burger Kings at overseas duty stations.

Let the Chaplains task the CA's.

My Navy RP (Religious Program Specialist) would say, “pick your rate, pick your fate,” when other sailors whined about that issue. LCDR, CHC, USN, Ret.

I worked in the motor pool. We had to do CQ duty. But if you were the recovery specialist, you got out of all extra duty. Because of the fact that you can get woke up in the middle of the night and have to go to work.

Actually nothing has changed. This has always been the unwritten rule when it came to the Chaplin and the Chaplin's Assitstant.
