Seven chaplains graduated from the Family Life Chaplain Qualification Course during a ceremony held Friday at the Chaplain Family Life Training Center here.
These chaplains with highly specialized skills as therapists and trainers of faith-informed, evidence-based pastoral counseling completed an 18-month, 60 semester hour Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Texas A&M â Central Texas. All will head out to their next assignments for what is called their utilization tour.
Chap. (Maj. Gen.) Thomas Solhjem, the U.S. Army Chief of Chaplains and virtual guest speaker at the ceremony, said these newly minted Family Life Chaplains will bring their skills to a force that needs them now more than ever.
