Sgt. Michael Theubet, a Redding, Calif., native, who serves as the chaplain's assistant for the 1st Sustainment Brigade chaplain, prepares to grind coffee beans at the Mud House, a coffee shop on Camp Taji that was built and run by volunteers. The Mud House has been a place where not only Soldiers, but civilians, third-country nationals, local nationals and members of other coalition forces often stop by to enjoy a cup of coffee, music or a game of cards. Capt. Larry Vanhook, the chaplain of the Special Troops Battalion, 1st Sustainment Brigade, recently assumed responsibility of the Mud House. "(The Mud House provides) a place where we as chaplains can have visibility and access to Soldiers that we wouldn't otherwise have ... because we want to be an influence, and we want to be a good influence for Soldiers," Vanhook said.
