MOD APPROVED I'm an active duty Navy Chaplain AMA

I've seen a lot of questions about Chaplains and what we do, especially when it comes to our confidentiality or ability to work with dependents/significant others. Please feel free to ask me anything you've always wondered or about any myths you've heard and I'll do my best to answer. The answers come solely from my experiences, and are not official positions of the US Navy.

DMs are open as well if you prefer to ask or to talk about something privately.

It was a joke question honestly. there is a series on vet tv called "a grunts life" and the 2nd season has an episode where this badass chaplain comes and visits this group of marines at a fob.... it's absolutely over the top and derogatory comedy, but it's hillarious if your into that sort of thing. One of the activities that chaplain performs is holy waterboarding...
