Plot Summary
- Starts with a military couple fighting. The active-duty guy was banging on the door to be let in. Their neighbors come out to see what's going on. The guy banging on the door turns out to be the Major and the neighbor is the Chaplain and his wife, Heather. Then, we see an active-duty woman doing her job protecting a child during what looks like an arrest. Then it shows unit members dealing with family members who are getting upset at the possibility that their husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, are being deployed to Iraq. This is right at the beginning of the Iraq war.The story shows some of the everyday issues that the families deal with together, like the Chaplain's daughter has asthma. This plays later in the film. Then, we see what looks like a unit BBQ. The main character, the new Chaplain Turner, is concerned because this will be his first deployment to a war zone, and he is the new guy in the unit. He doesn't know the unit members very well and he's afraid he won't know how to serve them.Next, we see the day that they leave their families. Then on to Iraq.

Then he gives the chaplain a large stack of files for all the divorces filed in the last three months.Chaplain goes to the range looking for Sgt Peterson. He finds out it is a woman and is surprised.
