INFORMATION PACKET
DEVELOPED BY CH(CPT) JOE HUGHES
31 October 2002
“Developing The Spiritual Leadership Team” DRAFT is:
• written from a CPE-slanted adult learning model and:
-assumes a client-pastor privilege relationship in which confidentiality will be assured
- assumes the non-CPE graduate (who has never experienced the CPE model) will readily assent to this type of environment in a mandated mentorship relationship.
- assumes the chaplain has time to meet suspense of agreements, integrative reports, evaluation reports, et.al.
•inculcates Army/”SACRED” Values into mentorship model
•uses CPE supervisor, Individual Supervised Time, Group Work methods as vehicles in this model
•Does not cover military matters (not one item on p 3.14 “Discussion Topics: Options”):
-administration
-career planning
-options for assignments; what hinges on what path chosen
-how to write an OER/-1 properly
-what is really important in getting promoted
-how the Chaplain’s branch works: from the top down

DEVELOPING LEADERS
Mentoring is the proactive development of each subordinatethrough observing, assessing, coaching, teaching, counseling, andevaluation; which results in people being treated with fairness andequal opportunity.

MENTORING IS MORE THAN “WARMED OVER” CPE
“…mentoring is a process.” (-p. 3.25, “Developing the Spiritual Resource Team”DRAFT) (What are the “issues” being developed here? Is it only about Values and Character….or did the Chaplain leave those at the “Basic” door with his civilian clothes?)
MENTORING ALSO INCLUDES:•GUIDING THE NEW AIT BATTALION CHAPLAIN IN CORRECT COUNSELING TECHNIQUES W/”RIGHT-SEATING”
•PROVIDING SPECIFIC/CORRECT GUIDANCE ON THINGS MILITARY…FROM HOW TO WEAR THE UNIFORM, TO VISITING HIS UNIT, TO PUBLIC PRAYER, AND PULPIT “PERFORMANCE”
•HOW TO FILL OUT AN OER/-1
•WORKING THE CMRP ISSUES
•HOW TO USE ARMY FORMS
•CAREER PLANNING AND EXPECTATIONS
•THE COMMANDER/CHAPLAIN RELATIONSHIP
•PROTOCOL ISSUES
•WRITING EFFECTIVE NEWSPAPER ARTICLES FOR THE INSTALLATION OR UNIT
•COUNSELING DISCRETION
•USE OF COMPUTERS/TELEPHONE
•RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMMANDERS/CADRE
•RELATIONSHIPS WITH CHAPLAINS/ASSISTANTS
•et.al.
BUT THOSE CHAPLAIN-SPECIFIC LEARNING POINTS (PREVIOUS TWO
SLIDES) WILL NEVER BE COVERED IF...
“Mentees are encouraged to use mentors who are not in their rating scheme”. (p. 3.27
“Developing the Spiritual Resource Team DRAFT).
IF EXPERIENCED CHAPLAINS DON’T MENTOR THE NEW CHAPLAIN IN
THOSE ISSUES, WHO DOES?
THE TRADITIONAL “BE, KNOW, DO” HAS BEEN ALTERED TO INCLUDE THE CPE
MODEL, TO NOW INCLUDE “NEED DESCRIPTION, THE GOAL STATEMENT,
AND LEARNING STRATEGIES.”
THIS INJECTS THE CPE THEME OF “INTERACTING”: “..what is happening inside
of you.” -(p. 4.2 Developing The Spiritual Leadership Team” DRAFT)
This theme continues on Pages 5.2-5.3 of the DRAFT, and could have been copied from the
CPE/ACPE Handbook for CPE Residents.
