Luke Air Force Base located in Glendale, Arizona has a surprisingly successful counseling center. The Spiritual Maintenance Center has seen over 15,000 visitors since its inception and now averages 500-600 visits per week! These are shocking numbers, especially when considering the stereotype that military-men are macho and won’t talk about their feelings. The center had a rough start in 2003 but traffic since has picked up on its own. They attribute their success to getting to know people before crisis hits, therefore, when crisis does hit, the center comes to mind and they come running. Capt. James Claggett, the chaplain for the center, says they mainly deal with marriage and premarital counseling. This is what the military needs across the board on all bases!
