Adoption


Since I have a lot more time to myself now that my whole Battalion is back in the States, and I'm the only one from TF Mustang left here in Kosovo, I sent a note to the Battalion Commander of the Aviation unit here asking if I could "adopt" them.

They don't have a Chaplain organic to their unit (that's "Army-speak" for "they don't have a Chaplain specifically assigned to them), so I figured that even though another Chaplain has been 'covering down' for them, perhaps they might be able to benefit from an extra pair of hands.

LTC B and I met the next day and spoke for about 30 minutes.

I now have a new, if temporary, Battalion home -- and I get to keep wearing the Mustang on my shoulder, to boot.

(Maybe I'll even be able to finagle an extra ride or two on one of their aircraft!)

Blessings and peace to one and all,


Fr. Tim, SJ

Chaplain,

Just remember, you have a home. TF Mustang. Aviation can use you but you are ours!

Regards,
Your Student and Friend
