Security guard John Hugus was working temporarily at the Duval County Courthouse while he looked for a permanent job as a Lutheran pastor, but the Army National Guard came calling first. Hugus, a major in the Guard, was called up Friday to active duty for the fourth time. This time he’ll be deployed in Kuwait or Iraq, serving as chaplain for a security detachment. Hugus said he’ll likely leave in June or July for a 14-month tour.
