Rev. Mrs. Candy returned from General Assembly last Friday, and on Sunday, told us about meeting up with a former member of our presbytery who had just returned from Afghanistan.
Serving with the 22eme Regiment as one of their chaplains, he learned that there was a specific seat assigned to chaplains when traveling in a LAV (Light Armoured Vehicle). He was told that chaplains were assigned that seat because, if the LAV was hit with an IED, the person in that seat would go straight up. He responded that, if that was the case, he hoped the guys sitting on either side of him didn't mind if he took them along for the ride!
We can only hope he will have a chance to visit Runamuk while he's on this side of the Atlantic.
Later, Mushers!
