Most are excellent. However, a shortcoming trend would be a failure to get completely immersed in Marine activities. Like any leader, the chaplain must be involved. Chaplains belong out with the troops.
Every door is open to the chaplain.

Solve that one and things get on the right track. The second biggest problem is orientation. They need advice in identifying and dealing with the 'sea-lawyer'.
