CPT Rubin,

I’d be honored to participate. I redeployed from Iraq 36 hours before Thanksgiving 2011. Without being haughty, I was the last Jewish Chaplain in Iraq and it was definitely interesting preparing for the Chagim as well as some additional challenges/experiences.

Kol Tuv,
Ephraim

Comment on What Service Should I Join? by LT Dan

Being that ‘Things to Consider When Enlsting in the Coast Guard’ isn’t written up yet, my opinion is that it is a demanding and rewarding service. Check out the ASVAB requirements. It may be the most stringent.

The Coast Guard is the smallest of the services with 40,000 active duty and 8,000 reservists. It’s a small and culturally diverse family. With 11 missions to be met, the Coast Guard offers a wide range of career opportunities. Check out this link that explains the 11 Coast Guard missions:

My experience has been very positive. I joined as a reservist, because 9/11 pissed me off. I intended to complete 1 reserve contract as my duty to my country, but am now almost 8 years on and am on active duty. That says a lot after working 20 years as a civilian in technology. Also, I’m comparing my experience with my wife’s experience as an Army National Guard reservist.

All our services are excellent organizations. Know your personal and career goals, and you’ll know which is best for you.

Wonderful story. Thanks for all you do. My son never even thought to ask if there could be a rabbi or something Jewish as part of the ceremony. And I loved that you had a crazy day as part of it all – that seems to be more routine than unusual for all of you aviators.

Do you have any info on how he died? It’s not clear if he was killed in action or not. It’s clear he saw combat, but from the video it sounds like he came home and then went to the National Guard and worked in his community.

Comment on Foster L. Harrington by Todd

I grew up directly behind Foster’s home in FT Worth. I was good friends with his younger brother. He use to torture the hell out of us, but in retrospect it was good times. Foster was a Marine long before he ever sworn an oath to our Nation. I am proud to have served in the same conflict as him and I know in my heart he passed loving what he did and who he was. God speed friend.

Respectfully,
