It's been a crazy month! Chaplain J has called home several times at strange hours of the day and night. He's learning the finer points of catching flights from one country to another. J's group typically wear red hats to identify themselves with the "Red Horse" unit.
Chaplains travel via whatever flights have space available. He accompanied some soldiers and civilians on a medivac flight from one base to another. The plane was very noisy so everyone wore earplugs. The patients ranged from civilian contractors with heart conditions to military members who suffered common injuries that you and I might see at a local emergency room. None of the passengers suffered from conflict based injuries.

Easter services were held outside. Most locations have long term Chapel staff so traveling Chaplains pitch in with local activities while meeting the needs of the particular unit they are assigned to. Chaplain J was pleased to help at the base as well as provide a small service for a group unable to attend the regular service.
