They need to be able to perform their job so equitable time off if every other Soldier get the weekend or Sunday off but he has to work he gets another day off. He can not do his chapel duties if he is stuck at the barracks on CQ. Just like Hospital staff, MP's etc they are doing the job they would do in combat everyday they are not training...

Exemption from CQ? What for? For helping on Sunday service? I would understand commander's driver, as he should be "on call" 24/7. Yet, chaplain assistant? C'mmon!!!

And you don’t see how a CA might be on call? Suicides don’t happen? Domestic abuse? Accidents? Speaking from a position of ignorance doesn’t suit you.

Same goes for anyone who doesn’t like that they get comp time for working weekends and crazy hours.

We radio operators in 81s were exempt from mess duties. We claimed we were a "critical" MOS and they believed us. Maybe it was guilt, too. Mortar squads were behind the lines in BIG holes. Us radio guys were in the line with the grunts and wearing a target pointer--our antennas.

If you have time to worry about others perhaps you need more pt. Shut your pie hole, eyes forward and focus on your pub mission.

I was a Chaplain. Chaplain’s Assistant have duty scheduled with the On Call Duty Chaplain which you did not mention here. Plus they work several weekends. Any comp time they get is well deserved. No other soldiers are on two to three duty schedules why should the chaplain’s assistant have to do that?

PFC Eric Minchey there are special MOSs that are exempt from extra duty. I would have to look at the regulations but they might be exempt due to their MOS and their duty like JAG, retention, recruiters, etc.
