Three weeks ago, the members of the CH-BOLC Class 03-2009 did not know each other. Over a three-week period of grueling training, of working together, and of breaking bread with each other, there is no denying that we have bonded with each other. While many will continue with the next phases of Chaplain Basic Officer Leadership Course, others (especially the National Guards and Reserve chaplains) will go back to their own families and churches to fulfill their responsibilities, and maybe down the road find some free time once more to come to Fort Jackson to attend a phase or two of chaplain training until they graduate and become fully qualified to function as US Army chaplains. The army is a family and surely our paths will cross again somehow somewhere.
