Asking for a fellow SM. How does one go about changing their religion? He came in with no preference but now wants to acknowledge his Norse Pagan beliefs. How would he do this?

Changing religious preference is a Personnel Action Request (PAR) in IPPS-A.

And because this will likely be his next question, getting the beard is a longer process involving several interviews with the chaplain, and a memo from the chaplain to get a memo from the BDE CDR.

He needs to contact personnel at Battalion/Squadron and ask that his religious preference be changed to "Asatru" (Norse gods) or "Pagan." If he has problem, have him contact the chaplain, who can help.
