Can the Chaplain's Office Help?
My husband and I are having marital problems. He is addicted to some crazy things and has been unfaithful. I have not heard from him in 2 days and am sick with worry...haven't slept or ate in 3 days.... He lied about who his chain of command is and no one there will give me answers. Can the Chaplain's office help? What do I tell them so my husband's career is not affected? He needs help and I am so scared and worried for him right now.

Yes you can go to the Chaplains office. It will not only be good for you but also for him in the long run. Not sure what that one guy meant when he said it wouldn't help if he was a Staff Sergeant. That really didn't make sense to me. But just go to the Chaplains office and give them the run down of what is going on. They do keep most things confidential unless it is really really bad, Illegal or something liek that. But he/ she can probably get in contact with the chain of command and let them know that he has to come in to see him.

If he is a Staff Sgt you might have a little trouble even in the Chaplain's office but I would give it a try anyway. Have you thought about leaving him or getting a divorce? Sounds to me like this guy needs some serious help. Good luck and I will pray for you.

Going to the chaplain is the best thing. My fiance is a Chaplain assistant and he gets this type of thing a lot. I don't think that anything you say can hurt his career. I believe chaplains still have to obey confidentiality laws. I am not really sure.

Yes the Chaplains office can help as can the family service centewr for your base. It would be a big help if you knew your husbands unit though.
