Just out of curiousity, are there any other chaplains out there who are former cadets? I'd love to talk to any who are about how this has informed their ministry. Thanks!

oh thanks. i get it now.
I was a cadet from 1964 to 1970. I attained the rank of C/LTC and continued as a senior member. There was a break in service and later rejoined as a chaplain. I think my experience as a cadet has allowed me to better relate to young people.
