Enabling Combat Power

Chaplain 1st Lt. Michael McDonald, 375th Air Mobility Wing, “The Scott Chapel Enables Combat Power through its mission of glorifying God, serving Airmen and pursuing excellence, and our No. 1 priority is warrior care. As a prior enlisted Chaplain I feel a special affinity for our new Airmen and that’s why I enjoy working in the dorms. The Chaplain Corps has a motto, “Visible Reminder of the Holy” and by being in the middle of people’s lives I am able to compassionately care and even love those who I come into contact with on a daily basis.”
