1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,218
airmen are used to seeing their 

2
00:00:02,218 --> 00:00:04,329
chaplains in their units , counseling 

3
00:00:04,329 --> 00:00:06,384
them when when they're going through 

4
00:00:06,384 --> 00:00:08,551
often tough times even as their pastor 

5
00:00:08,551 --> 00:00:10,551
on sunday . And so the chaplain has 

6
00:00:10,551 --> 00:00:13,400
always been uh scene and operating the 

7
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,880
role as of an advocate for an airman . 

8
00:00:15,890 --> 00:00:17,612
But when it comes to religious 

9
00:00:17,612 --> 00:00:19,668
accommodation request , the chaplain 

10
00:00:19,668 --> 00:00:21,668
has to take on another role because 

11
00:00:21,668 --> 00:00:24,990
then the chaplains clergy had comes off 

12
00:00:24,990 --> 00:00:27,610
and they put on the officer had . And 

13
00:00:27,610 --> 00:00:30,080
so the chaplain is expected to 

14
00:00:30,090 --> 00:00:32,130
interview the airman as opposed to 

15
00:00:32,130 --> 00:00:34,230
counseling them . And the interview 

16
00:00:34,230 --> 00:00:36,020
portion will include some tough 

17
00:00:36,020 --> 00:00:38,530
questions . Every single request and A . 

18
00:00:38,530 --> 00:00:41,770
T . C . Will go directly to General Web 

19
00:00:41,780 --> 00:00:43,502
through a process that we have 

20
00:00:43,502 --> 00:00:47,170
developed and it is it allows um every 

21
00:00:47,170 --> 00:00:50,100
individual's voice to be heard not only 

22
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:53,400
with their requests in writing but also 

23
00:00:53,410 --> 00:00:56,140
everyone along the way and their cases 

24
00:00:56,140 --> 00:00:58,320
will be evaluated on a case by case 

25
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:58,960
basis .
