Florida Wing Chaplain Part Of Joint Forces Ministry Team
Helping Volunteers Deal With Stress
Although the Civil Air Patrol is receiving high marks and
accolades for the daily flights aircrews are performing in support
of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response, flying is not all CAP
is doing to support this mission. Since mid-May, Florida Wing
Chaplain Lt. Col. Marcus L. Taylor has acted as CAP's
representative on the newly-formed Joint Force Ministry Team at the
Deepwater Horizon incident command post, or ICP, in Mobile. He puts
in 14 hours a day six days a week visiting the ICP's 1,200 workers,
encouraging and uplifting them as well as providing counseling.
