  • The only two Chaplains I can remember serving with, were really fuckin weird. And by weird, I mean I could smell the “little boy” on their breath. Being in their presence made me feel uncomfortable, but listening to them talk and watching them interact with others made me think they had Asperger's and a proclivity for middle schoolers.
    However, I’ve heard stories from many other service members who had amazing and memorable Chaplains. Chaplains who truly cared about the troops, who boosted morale, and helped Marines and soldiers get through hard times.
    Then I heard stories about Chaplains who were once warriors, but replaced their rifle with the Bible to spread love and life, rather than hate and death.
    These are the Chaplains I wanted to represent with the character Chaplain Kelly.
    The idea for this character came from my friend Jeremy Walton, who was a leader in my non-profit Irreverent Warriors. During the Nashville Hike Jeremy pitched me the idea of a Chaplain who went around to patrol bases in combat zones and celebrated the Marines’ kills with a ceremony that was based in Norse mythology. As a former (and recovering) Catholic, I saw a great opportunity to combine Catholic Mass, Marine Corps ceremony, and Norse mythology.
    The result is one of the best and most entertaining characters to come out of VET Tv.
    Love and xoxo,

    My grandfather was a chaplain in WW II. He carried a Garand M1 like the rest of the grunts and when the Germans shot at him, he shot back. It was a hard experience overall though - especially the time he spent doing Jewish burial services for 72 hours straight after his division liberated a German work camp. He became an alcoholic, got kicked out of his fundamentalist church, and wound up as a busboy on the Las Vegas strip. The only busboy who was a lieutenant colonel and had a doctorate (earned, not awarded) in theology. I wish I'd known him better.
    I knew several chaplains in my career and the overwhelming majority were cool as fuck. The first one, our basic training chaplain, MAJ (CH) Dennington, was the best. He was an ex Vietnam Green Beret. His first sermon was on the motto Green Beret _De Oppresso Liber._

    Former U.S Marine here, I wish I talked to the chaplain more, those filthy Marines sure know how to fight, but after the fighting you gotta clean the soul and scrub off the war, the good times and bad. After OEF everyone drifted apart trying to get normal lives and raise families or stay mentally secure and "lock it down". Jesus Christ saved me from a lot of depression, anxiety, PTSD and the Bible soothes my soul. If you are going through it there is hope and light in Jesus and He will "never leave you nor forsake you" - Semper!

    There are 2 types of good chaplains:
    1: The combat seasoned vet who is being held back by the literal will of God.
    2: The chaplain with no combat experience but has the respect, love, and adoration of his men and tends to be more of a counselor.
    Good chaplains tend to be rare, so if you mess with one, you will not survive.
