CAMP FOSTER, OKINAWA, Japan – Lt. Patrick A. Flynn laughs with his religious program specialist in the Chapel aboard Camp Foster, Okinawa, Japan. Flynn’s devotion and open door policy is known across Okinawa. Acting as a mental and spiritual 911, Flynn works tirelessly seven days a week, balancing the busy schedule of caring for hundreds of Marines with taking enough time to decompress. Due to the confidentiality of a chaplain, Flynn’s broad shoulders selflessly carry the weight of many men and women’s darkest secrets and worst moments but he wouldn’t trade it for the world. Chaplains provide all three branches, Navy, Coastguard and Marine Corps with much needed solace, mentorship and act as a cornerstone for maintaining morale during overseas operations. Religious program specialists, commonly abbreviated as RP, provide support to Navy chaplains in developing programs to meet the needs of the service members and their families. Flynn is the Chaplain for Marine Corps Installations Pacific-Marine Corps Base Camp Butler, Japan. (U.S Marine photo by Lance Corporal Tayler P. Schwamb)
