in Adobe format is a Pre-Registration flyer for the Pacific Region
Chaplain Service Staff College. Please give it the widest possible
distribution among your chaplains and moral leadership officers.
We
have finalized the date and location as follows: 20-23 Feb 2006 at
Nellis AFB, NV. We are pretty excited about the arrangements.
It appears that we will be able to hold the college in the Threat
facility where they have many very interesting static displays of the
aircraft, tanks, armament and equipment of the military enemies of the
US. I have seen this area and it is worth the trip all by itself.
We can fulfill our aerospace education requirement without leaving the
facility.
This
year, we are asking that the chaplains and moral leadership officers
pre-register so that we can plan accordingly. We are ordering good
quality golf shirts with a Pacific Region Chaplain Service logo.
We will need to know the sizes. We will contact each
pre-registrant personally when we have determined the cost. It
will be less than last year, as our budget has increased; however, it is
again dependent on the number of attendees. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT
EVERYONE PRE-REGISTER ASAP. Please encourage your folks to do so
immediately. We are working with the DDR people and must have
sufficient lead time. At some point (probably in December) we will
stop the pre-registration and after that date we cannot provide a golf
shirt for the attendee and if we do not have sufficient registrants, the
cost will be higher.
We
are returning to the February dates to avoid conflict with other CAP
activities. Again this year the college will begin on Monday and
end on Thursday afternoon. That should give pastors ample time to
conduct their Sunday services. Please remind your chaplains and
moral leadership officers that they should not schedule departing
flights until late afternoon or early evening on Thursday. We will
NOT provide transportation to the airport until AFTER the luncheon on
Thursday. The luncheon is an integral part of the staff college
and should not be omitted.
The
theme for our staff college will continue our overall emphasis on the
chaplain as a model. "Modeling Ministry In
Crisis" will focus on improving our emergency service
skills. During the college we will participate in a table top
search and rescue exercise. Chaplains should come prepared to hone
their skills. Moral leadership officers will receive specific
training to enhance their capabilities in the cadet program.
I
hope that all of you will be able to attend. Wing chaplains will
be given an opportunity to meet with their chaplains and moral
leadership officers. This is the premiere gathering of chaplains
and moral leadership officers in the Pacific Region. We are
praying for an attendance of at least 50 and participation by all of the
Wing Chaplains.
Semper Vigilans for God's glory, Whit
Chaplain
