I am a college junior on track to graduate by next May. I am currently working toward my Bachelor's and will be applying for my master's program and enter the Army as a Chaplain Candidate. What exactly takes place (chain of events) between commissioning and CH-BOLC? Thanks.

1LT Private RallyPoint Member your tag won’t get the responses you want. Try tagging 56A Chaplain, BOLC, unit ministry team, command chaplain

1LT Private RallyPoint Member once you’re selected for the chaplain candidate program, your should receive paperwork in the mail with an oath of office and then be assigned to a unit (USAR or ARNG). You’ll attend battle assembly or drill and yearly annual training with your unit while awaiting a confirmed date for CHBOLC. Don’t delay attendance at CHBOLC. That course will teach you the basics of serving as a religious leader and religious advisor to your assigned unit.

Your recruiting officer (chaplain) should be able to provide more detailed information.
