Which branch would you consider to be a chaplain?

Question

....and why?....

Answer 1

I humbly amend my statement in view of reading what Mr Puma stated.  He is quite correct.  I , then again, would make a terrible chaplain which is why I am not one.

Answer 2

The U.S. Navy would be a good choice if you want a broad variety of assignments.  As a Navy Chaplain you can work on shore installations for the Navy or the Marine Corps, or you can deploy on a ship with the Navy, or deploy with the Marine Corps.  

Answer 3

I have only had personal experience with Army Chaplains. Many Army Chaplains do not spend their entire careers in the Chaplain Corps. They've served in other branches such as Infantry, Aviation, or Special Forces prior to becoming a Chaplain. These are the Chaplains that speak from true experience and know what life is like in combat.

Answer 4

I love what she said up above..To say that AF chaplains treat their people right as if other chaplains treat theirs wrong is just stupid..

All branches are equal in this regard. It simply depends on what branch you wish to be in. As a chaplain you would want to perform some real work and in the coast guard and AF you will not be doing much work as it is not those branches who lose members often.

The USMC uses Naval chaplains so that eliminates one branch.

Answer 5

I would agree with Navy Chaplains since you can work with both navy and Marines. Here is a good link to learn more of the requirements....

Answer 6

The point of being a Chaplain is not which service is better but how much better can you make a service. All the branches of the US military need Chaplains. The difference isn't whats on the outside (meaning uniform) but what's on the inside (meaning the man).
