Having served as a cook and Mess Sergeant, I recall common sense prevailing. Same holds true for chaplain's assistant.

Chaplains Assistants should be treated like any other soldier, they are after all soldiers and because chaplains are usually considered non combatants it’s the chaplains assistant that helps keep him safe in wartime situations, it’s the chaplains assistant that carries the M-16, I know the Army has new weapons but in my day it was the M-16. But, yeah, they should be exempt from those other duties even if it to ensure the chaplain has everything he needs to administer religious services to the troops, but he still needs to be update on infantry tactics, range qualification and anything else soldiers need to know
