New Reverend
I’ve been a follower of Lex’s blog since way back in 2005, and flatter myself to think that I’m at least somewhat familiar to most of the other “regulars” who haunt this site.
That said, I thought I would take the opportunity to inform y’all that I have passed my ordination council this A.M. with flying colors and am now officially ordained by the Baptist General Council. Three hours of Q & A, with most of the questions focusing not on doctrinal minutiae, but on the social application of that which I believe. Which I much prefer over the other, since it is but a foundation from which to build upon.
So, I’m one step closer to the chaplaincy now. Three more weeks til seminary graduation, then puttin’ in the Navy packet!
For the record, I had a retired Marine colonel as a member of the council, so if he says I’m good to go, you’d best believe it!

Congratulations, Major. I believe it is appropriate to offer some words of advice for the new graduate, but sadly I’ve nothing coming immediately to mind. I can only offer that you’re working for somebody far beyond our knowledge, so expect to not have the answer every now and again. That’s the point of faith, to believe when you don’t have the answers.

You already know my view. I don’t know anybody more deserving.

I thought I noticed in the comments section on TOS a few days ago that your name had changed to Rev Harvey so I was wondering what was up. Now I know. 
Congratulations!

MAJHarvey: I too have been following Lex’s websites since 2005. I don’t comment very often, but in the intervening years, I have gotten to ‘know’ you in the cyber sense.
It will be a pleasure to have you in the fleet and in the chaplain corps. Be sure to look me up on the global once you get your orders and I’ll get you some current gouge on chaplain school/ODS etc…
Blessings and Peace in your new journey and congratulations on your ordination.
Chaplain Robert Mills
