One of the first things that made me question the Chaplaincy was when I was stationed at Keesler Air Force Base for technical training. I remember being forced to go to a briefing at which a chaplain was discussing why people should not commit suicide (suicide is a big problem in the Air Force).As he discussed ways to deal with suicidal thoughts he mentioned that God was one source of help when we were discouraged.1 The base pay for chaplains all begins at the same level of O-2. Chaplains also receive a housing and food allowance which varies based upon the geographic location in which they are stationed and whether they have dependents or not. 12 This total includes their base salary, food allowance, and housing allowance.
If a vaginal ultrasound is done and no fetal pole or cardiac activity is seen, another ultrasound scan should be done in 3-7 days. Due to the fact that pregnancy dating can be wrong, it would be much too early at this point to make a clear diagnosis on the outcome of the pregnancy.
Using a transvaginal approach the fetal heart beat can be seen flickering before the fetal pole is even identified. It will be seen alongside the yolk sac. It may be below 100 beats per minute but this will increase to between 120- 180 beats per minute by 7 weeks.
