Bible on Duty Sparks Air Force Debate
After discussions with the base chaplain and commander, airman Ristan was advised not to display a Bible on duty. Ristan notes other airmen carry Bibles on duty and hosts two hours of study with peers. Maj. Grover says reading on duty is not personal and that many with strong beliefs carried Bibles but agreed not to on duty. Ristan will continue to carry it, planning to hide it when officers appear, stating three years in the Air Force with no prior issue, and that Turkey encouraged Bible carrying.
