Greetings all! I've just been selected to be an Army Chaplain. I already have dates to go to CHBOLC. Unfortunately, I failed my ACFT (just the run) due to taking it after being in the ER with my wife for three days. I will be taking another ACFT this week. Just for confirmation: since I am flagged I cannot attend CHBOLC until the flag is removed, correct? I have yet to be scrolled (i.e. Congress has not blessed off on the accepted applicants) and do not have orders cut. Although, I have been slotted for my course dates. Thanks!

Technically, you cannot attend a BOLC until you are a 2LT.
But, if you read through ch 3 of AR 600-8-2, you'll find that flags do not prevent a flagged officer from attending BOLC.

Roger SGM. I was told by the chaplain accessions officer that I will not pin on my bars until I get to CHBOLC; my commission will happen day 1 of the school.

Read AR 165-1, it will tell you most of what you need to know.
AR 165-1 Par G
g. Chaplain candidates will not be required to take an Army physical fitness test (APFT) for record until they have completed phase II of CHBOLC. Diagnostic APFTs will be given to prepare the chaplain candidate to pass the APFT for record at CHBOLC.
