The Foreword notes that 'The value of this oral history interview lies in Chaplain Kuhn's superb knowledge of the Naval Reserve Community. In easy conversational style, he recounts the developments as they affected chaplains through the years. Discussion includes, but is not limited to, such matters as training, appropriate duty, contributory support, active duty for training, temporary active duty, growth, organizations (including chaplain companies, composite companies, and voluntary training units), the Theological Student Program, duty with other components of the sea services, and ways in which the Naval Reserve chaplains have been an asset to the active forces, such as in the conducting of funerals and assistance with the UA/Deserter Programs. He also mentions ways in which those of the Regular, Navy, especially personnel in the Office of the Chief of Chaplains, have been an asset to the reserves." More
