Last year I was the only Female Chaplain Trainer at FT Knox. I had a Chaplain Candidate who lied on me due to he did not like getting corrected by Females!

Had a cadet while at drum wanted to impress a female by saying he was allowed into my area. anyone who has dealt a battalion level cpn team, (the ones who work the funky satellite to give the toc computer and phone) knows it's secure if your not on the list you don't come in. Well he tried three times to push in third time I had enough and dropped his knee sending him into the mud and dragged him out all in front of the battalion commander. He asked why I did it once explained he laughed and said "well that will show these cadets to not go into secure zones again." got off Scott free.

I would have made the Chaplain Candidate write a 1000 word essay on the why lying is bad.

He was a Chaplain Candidate and he created a turbulent summer for me. Many relations were stressed due to many of the Chain of Command believed him. It was amazing how my 30 yeas did not mean anything.

The valuable lesson I learned out of this, is some Chaplain's have a conflict with females being n the Chaplain CORPS. I came in at 17, as an E-1 and I transitioned from CW2 to 2LT. Some of our Chaplains come in direct commission as an CPT and their belief system is very different.

I walked away wounded that summer, and amazing he was picked up as a Chaplain.

Sir, actually that did not happen, and my thirty years of serving was challenged. He did not get corrected and I did not get protected. I had to pull back and take a hit.

I noticed a trend I was always told if you are corrected you are protected. Last year we had several incidents of senior NCO's that were accused of inappropriate behavior. What we found was many of the CADETS did not take to correction.
