    190115-N-IY469-006 – RP2 Jacob Sherfey talks about what an RP is. “Religious Program Specialists assist Navy chaplains," said RP2 Jacob Sherfey, staff RP. “But what exactly does that mean? Many Sailors have no idea who we are or what we do. Polish brass, dust bibles, yes and so much more. As religious protectors, RPs provide religious ministry support, administrative expertise, logistical planning and of course personal security to chaplains and worshipers in combat environments. RPs serve anywhere religious ministries support is needed; here at the hospital; haze grey and underway on warships; in the field with Marines, Seabees, EOD, SWCC or SEALS; or in chapels around the globe.”
