Originally posted by Huntzman View PostWhen things get a little slow along the military lines, you can always check out the Chaplains in the police area. The Chaplains in my old department carried the rank of Inspector (Military Rank - Colonel). Interesting enough each badge had the corresponding symbol of denomination: Cross, Star, etc..

Regarding rank...My CGSC paper argued that Chaplains shouldn't have rank. I used Chaplains on the eastern front as my example. Many stopped the killing of jews yet they had no rank but moral courage.

I have seen incidents where Chaplains have actually alluded to their rank when dealing with an Officer. Certainly would not instill any confidence in me to share what was troubling me.
You can have an assimilated rank for administrative purposes, but it does not need to be advertised.
Best wishes & God Bless,

A few months ago, a very good friend passed away. Chaplain H. Dale Small. He was with the 4th & 8th Armored Division and the 94th Infantry. While he was alive, he gave me his photo album, id card, overseas cap, communion kit and a number of other items.
Since his passing, the family passed along his Class A and Ike, his geneva convention card and his diary during the war.
In my collection you will see the earlier stuff earlier in the thread, and new pics at the end of the forum.
I wish he was still around to enjoy his stuffAttached Files
