Can you commission for the Chaplain Candidate Program while on a temporary profile?

I’m preparing a packet for a friend of mine and he asked if he can still commission while on a temporary profile. He is worried his packet will be turned away because of the profile. If someone could provide some guidance, that’d be appreciated. I don’t have anyone to ask for guidance in my unit because it is such a rare thing for people to do.

Your friend's temporary profile should end long before the commissioning takes place. In fact, long before the board convenes.

He should be preparing his own packet. Help with questions is ok, but do not do the work that he/she should be doing. Potential officers should not have someone else prepare their packet.

Unfortunately there is not a direct answer for this because it is always changing. I would contact Chaplain (LTC) Farmer who is the current chaplain candidate manager to get the most up to date guidance on this.
