The next year, he was sent sent to Holy Family Parish in Staten Island, New York, for the next two years. In 1996, he was also assigned as chaplain to Fleet Hospital 22.^[1]

In 1998, the Navy recalled Muhm to active duty, this time as a member of the United States Navy Chaplain Corps. His assignments included an extended deployment on the USS WASP (LHD-1), an amphibious assault ship, in the Arabian Sea after the September 11th attacks.
