I take care of the spirit of those who serve when the shit hits the fan.


Every warrior breaks. I was the one they called. Nobody told me that was the job.I'm Shana — Senior Enlisted Leader in the Air Force Chaplain Corps. I've stood on Iraqi flightlines watching Chinooks take off at sunset, sat with wives outside unnamed detention facilities, and cleaned poop off chapel walls on Monday mornings.One day I'm running background checks for a children's church program and ordering communion wine. The next I'm the only person a young airman trusts with their darkest secret.Nobody knows that's what I do. I'm building this so you finally will.
