    I’m considering this call seriously myself after a few years, but I do have a question regarding the physical requirements.

    Will a PCL tear in one of my knees be a major issue? I have a bit of pain if I’m driving for over an hour without break, but running/jumping/swimming and basically everything else is no problem.

    Thanks, and God bless.

    @danielsparks My medical conditions are no longer an issue. I am currently in ROTC to get myself started at becoming a chaplain. It will be a dream/nightmare come true. A dream because I would love to live a life where I have the opportunity to wear the best uniform in the world with a mission to reach people for God. A nightmare because it out right scares me that God may be calling me to this. But where he sends me I will go.

    @KKidGodStyle If your medical issue is no longer a concern that would inhibit you in any way in meeting the physical demands of military service, you should contact a chaplain recruiter. You will also need to meet the educational and ecclesiastical requirements for chaplaincy. If your medical situation has not changed since you were discharged, I do not foresee how you could be approved for returning to the service.

    Will God call someone who has been medically retired back on active duty to become a chaplain? I HAVE to get back in the military. I love it and now I feel God calling me back in. What should I do?

    @AmenSoldier You may be overlooking the pastoral ministry requirement of at least 2 years post-seminary. If you earn a master degree with less requirements than the M.Div., you may be on track for ministry sooner than normal. However, I caution you against trying to become a chaplain before you have had significant and serious ministry experience. Such folks are of no use to the average Soldier when facing critical life issues.

    @AmenSoldier What do you consider “young”? The average age of an Army chaplain entering active duty is 35.

    I am an active duty chaplain assistant and love it. If your considering being an army chaplain but your heart is not in it…don’t waste your time. Your soldiers will see right through it.

    7He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

    What if you are Catholic but married or engaged? Do you accompany a priest or what?

    my youth pastor told me that God loaned me the gift of teaching, so I hope I am following Gods path for me.

    I’m trying to join the Chaplaincy program but my weight and large body frame is holding me back. I have a BD, MDiv and an MA in Theology. But like I said, I’m still struggling to lose the weight and also have a very large body frame.

    Thank you, Chaplain Carver, for your call to serve. Your service is an example to us all as one of God’s Soldiers. As a fellow Army Chaplain, I say a loud “Amen!” & “Hooah!” to his words. My family & I have been richly blessed over 8 years of service in the Army Chaplain Corps. It will be one of the toughest, yet most rewarding experiences in your life. If you answer the call & give it your all, the Lord will use you (& your family) to bless many lives in times of war & of peace.
