• Moral Leadership Program
• (p. 56 in Student Guide)
• The Director of Cadet Programs tells you that he
  is worried about how the moral leadership program
  is being administered at the squadron level. In
  his visits to units and conversations with cadets
  around the wing, he tells of many instances of
  pencil whipping the moral leadership
  requirement. He also tells you that of the 16
  squadrons in the wing, there are only seven
  squadron chaplains. Two other squadrons have
  Moral Leadership officers (MLOs), but he is just
  getting the program started in his wing.

Chaplain Service Case Study

• Moral Leadership Program
• (p. 56 in Student Guide)
• Does it necessarily entail obtaining only
  chaplains or MLOs?
• No. The point is to build support for the
  chaplain program, and through that to increase
  resources.
• It may sound like a chicken-and-egg problem.
  Should jobs be created for chaplains/MLOs, or
  should chaplains/MLOs be recruited before jobs
  are secured?

• (p. 56 in Student Guide)
• Do you need to build squadron support? Why? If
  yes, how?
• Yes? The chaplain program works best at the local
  level because that is where the people (the need)
  is. Build elements of the chaplain progrm
  (mission chaplains, moral leadership, cadet
  counseling, etc.) to foster squadron support.
