Post-DADT Training Begins for Military Chaplains

USA Today reports that the Army and the other service branches have begun a training program for their chaplains as the military prepares to implement the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Lt. Col. Carleton Birch, a spokesman for the Army chief of chaplains, is quoted as describing the training as follows:

Our training is an opportunity for our senior chaplains to have an honest and open conversation about the repeal policy, its effects on them and their ministry… And it's going very well. ... In no way are we giving the message, shape up or ship out.

According to Lt Col. Birch only one Army chaplain has decided to resign in response to the change in policy.
