Go On Chaplain’s Retreat. Jump Out of Airplane.
Chaplain (1Lt) Domenic Grotti recently took 28 Soldiers through two days of relationship training called Premarital Interpersonal Choices and Knowledge. When the course was complete, the Soldiers jumped from an airplane over southern Colorado.
“It’s an analogy really,” Grotti said. “Skydiving is about faith and trust. Trusting the tool and trusting the training. You put your life at risk, and Soldiers … put their lives on the line every day with relationships and it either helps them or hurts them. So if they can trust a tool or plan to give them success then … they may put their faith in that tool.”
And to think some people call Chaplain’s retreats “boring.”
