What are you opinions on Chaplain Assistants getting "Special Treatment" such as exemption from CQ/Staff duty, Comp-Time for working Chapel Services on the weekends, etc. from their units?<div><div><br></div><div>What do you think should Chaplain Assistants be treated differently or should they be treated the same as any other soldier in the unit?&nbsp;<br></div></div>

Choose your rate (mos)....choose your fate. I never liked it when someone complained about somebody’s good deal. Change your mos or shut up.

As an E-4 at fort hood, I had the privilege of having permission to drive My Humvee without a TC, 94-97. with that privilege came the privilege of pulling duty driver a lot more than most others, to include DISCOM and Battalion duty driver on consecutive weekends with CQ on the next weekend. I still had to do my normal job as well. So I just say, with privileges com responsibility's.

I was a Col driver. Yep no special duties. But have spent weekend in the office doing paperwork and slide shit for some meeting. Have an alert that only staff had to show up for yep was considered staff. In office half hour before him and leave when he leaves. Yes it does perks but shits also.

I've been on an ftx and we were mock attacked. One of the first men we captured trying to sneak into our AO was the Chaplain Assistant. That was in 91. I had a respect for him, he didn't hide in the rear and we were Field Artillery

How about you worry about you, and let the Army worry about the tiny number of chaplains assistants. I’m sure there is a reason for the rule.

They should be treated like soldiers. Liberty/freetime isn’t a right it’s a privilege

There a different positions exempted from the DA6 for specific reasons, CAs should be exempt as they are essentially on call 24/7 at the Chaplains need. Should the unit armorer have to pull CQ? Hope that alarm doesnt trip during his 24 hours down after duty.
Sincerely,
Not a Chaplains assistant!
