LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY sunfell)

I want to know how many of you have encountered overt Christian evangelicism in your branch of the military. By 'overt', I mean stuff that goes above and beyond your standard chaplain's visit and general prayers, like gatherings that are sponsored by churches that are 'mandantory', any kind of problems if you do not attend services, prosetylization and/or pressure to convert or conform to a particular faith group, prayer and Bible Studies during duty hours, disrespect for your own faith if it is not mainstream (I know that I'll hear from my Pagan friends)...You get the picture.

I am developing an idea for an article/essay/ whatever the heck you want to call it- that brings attention to this problem beyond what has been reported about the USAF Academy and "Force Ministries" in the Army. First person stories would fit this very well. It does not matter if you are active duty or a veteran- I want to hear your story. You can email me at philosopher-geek at comcast dot net or through my Livejournal email if you don't want to share it here. Mark it 'military evangelicism' for my filters.
