I have a pretty general interest in all aspects of the Military> I am studying to become a Lutheran Pastor, and hope to enter the military as a Chaplain/Padre at some point when I finish school. I would love to talk to anyone about pretty much anything related to the Canadian Military.

Being a chaplain in the Canadian Forces is not only a priveledge but a
miracle.To begin with when you have obtain your degree in Theoligy
MA.Doctorate you must be selected by your own archibishop when the
Forces requires a chaplains.
So my friend I wish all the luck.
PS Our son do have his MA in Theoligy and 5 years in a doctorate
Degree but he chosed to become a stock broker,but rest assure that the
education that he obatained at Mc Gill and the U of M will never be
forgotten.

Hello Mr. Morris,
I commend you on your desire to become a Padre in the military and do so
because I have come to realize how difficult a position like that can be.
Over the years I have seen many colleagues count on the support of a
minister even when they thought a chaplain was not what they needed.
I studied theology for a short time myself and although I do not have any
specific informtion regarding being a Padre in the military I will tell you
this. After attending Chapel in a military setting and hearing the prayer
requests of soldiers around the world...I must conclude that the military
needs genuine men and women of God who will teach, pray, nd be there for
those in their most desperate times of need. Even in times of peace,
spiritual warfare never seems to end.
I remember one Sunday during my basic training when the chaplain spoke to us
about the issues surrounding people in the military. He spoke of many
things including post traumatic stress syndrome, isolation distance from
home, adultery, fornication, addiction and so forth. He gave testimony of
some of the "toughest men" in the military breaking down in his office in
tears because life in the military just like life in a civillian
world...offers no mercy. Eyes that have seen death of strangers and
friends, hands that have bled to help those in war-torn countries, feet that
have ran through fields of the unknown only to discover the worst...and the
list goes on.
An example that I often use when civillian‘s make reference to the military
being "useless" or "sissy"...is a prayer request that was given to me a few
years back. It was of a young Captain who was shot in the leg by a sniper
during a peace-keeping mission because a suboordinate saluted him in the
field. He went home to his wife and new baby with one leg less but was
thankful that he did not lose his life. His story was not public and nobody
knew what this man had sacrificed to serve his country. In fact the public
rarely knows the sacrifices that honorable members of the Canadian Armed
Forces make on a daily basis. We may all say that this is OK, but after
many years, sometimes the spirit gets run down and the spirit itself needs
the counsel of a minister.
I wish you much in the future Mr. Morris and trust that you will find your
place...wherever that may be.
God Bless you always...Nicole From: tvmorris@planet.eon.net Vic Morris
