Chaplain Lends Comforting Hand Aboard Hospital Ship

摘要

After getting out, I remember being excited to take on life and fulfill some of my other dreams. My post-Air Force years took me from law school to serving as a legislative aide/chief of staff to North Carolina Sen. Jim Davis, subsequently writing policy, such as tax reform, and eventually running for state senate myself. The drive to serve never left me - the military helped me to mature and understand what it means to have an ethos. I remember looking out of my nice office window, staring at the capitol in Raleigh, North Carolina, thinking I still felt the military pulling at my heartstrings. Sen. Davis noticed and told me something that changed my life: "Johnny, you were born for the military. I support you fully if you want to go back." I knew I didn't want to go back in a normal role, but two things drove my passion.
