As this May 2024 issue of the U.S. Army
Chaplain Corps Journal hits the streets,
it is my pleasure to highlight the excellent
work of Master Sergeant Eric Tysinger, who
contributed a research article, and Sergeant
Major Daniel Roberts, who participated in
the Forum. The experience and wisdom
noncommissioned officers (NCOs) have
accumulated make them the backbone of our
Army and our Corps; and Master Sergeant
Tysinger and Sergeant Major Roberts
are helping lead the way as NCOs, by
representing our religious affairs specialists
in the pages of the Journal.
Our religious affairs specialists provide an
essential enlisted perspective to all Army
religious support operations and they are
often the most trusted enlisted Soldiers in
any formation. This makes their perspectives
extremely noteworthy and important, because
they can provide distinctive insight into the lives, morale, and overall readiness of Soldiers
and families across our Army. That insight
is critical as our Chaplain Corps works to
enhance the ways we care for everyone in the
Army family and build Army spiritual readiness.
I echo the words of Chaplain (Major General)
Green in challenging each of my fellow religious
affairs specialists and everyone in our Corps to
consider how you can contribute to our Corps’
ongoing developmental conversation, in the
Journal and otherwise. We need to benefit from
the rich diversity of voices across our Corps,
especially as we answer General George’s
calls to strengthen our profession and to
pursue continuous transformation.
Thank you all for being a part of the
conversation and for making a difference every
day in the lives of those in your care.
Pro Deo et Patria!
