Happy 246th Anniversary to the Chaplain Corps. For 97 years Navy Chaplains have provided care for the men and women of the United States Coast Guard. There are more than 800 Navy chaplains from more than 100 different faith groups, including Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, and others. They have provided much-needed counsel, ministry, and support to the brave members of the service. As tireless advocates for the spiritual readiness of our people, they have helped prepare Coast Guardsmen to enter the storm time and again. The rigors of Coast Guard service demand that our people be ready in body, mind, and spirit. If you are looking for upliftment, the Chaplain Corps is ready to assist, whether or not you belong to a particular faith. Please see Chaplain Corps 246th Anniversary ALCOAST 372/21.
