A conversation with Chaplain (MAJ) Alison Ward recorded on August 26, 2025. In a first for Chaplain Stories, this conversation is the second time recording with CH Ward. In 2017 I recorded a podcast with CH Ward and her sister. For our conversation today we catch up on the last 8 years, talk the transition from company grade to field grade, the joys and challenges of mentoring, stewarding the profession, and why it's critical that Chaplains be excellent religious leaders and excellent staff officers.
