I'm going to throw out an odd question for an aviation forum. I'm curious what you all think about the chaplains that serve your units. I have a few friends who are chaplains, and most find that the pilots are usually the hardest group of people on base with which to build credibility and camaraderie, especially if they have never flown. They seem to not be able to relate to the mentality of a pilot, nor understand the job and the stresses that go along with it.

Please leave out all opinions about religious preference and respect the rules of the forum in your responses. I'm not looking to have a discussion on religion.

What are some things you liked about the good chaplains, and things you disliked about the bad ones? What are some ways that your chaplains could serve you better? What do y'all think about having a chaplain's office in your squadron?
