In the military, you work to get
qualified in your area of expertise, as well as additional
qualifications that help keep the ship ready to make mission at any
time.
Unlike in the Marine Corps, where there
is a chaplain version of the FMF (Fleet Marine Force) qualification,
the Navy does not have a chaplain version of the SWO (Surface Warfare Officer) qual.
That said, it does not mean I do not go
for any qualifications. It means I go for ones that are non-weapons
based.
In this case, I was asked to reenlist a
sailor at the top of the main mast. To go up the mast (aloft), I got
my aloft qual. We were really high up, but the weather was
cooperative, the seas were calm and my instructors were supportive.
