https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/can-you-commission-for-the-chaplain-candidate-program-while-on-a-temporary-profile <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>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.

In fact, long before the board convenes.

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.

I would contact Chaplain (LTC) Farmer who is the current chaplain candidate manager to get the most up to date guidance on this.
