1LT Private RallyPoint Member7505859<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.Can you commission for the Chaplain Candidate Program while on a temporary profile?2022-01-31T14:13:58-05:001LT Private RallyPoint Member7505859<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.

Shouldn't he be doing all this? Preparing it? Asking questions about profiles?Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 31 at 2022 4:09 PM2022-01-31T16:09:02-05:002022-01-31T16:09:02-05:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member7506094<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Your friend's temporary profile should end long before the commissioning takes place. In fact, long before the board convenes.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 31 at 2022 4:57 PM2022-01-31T16:57:06-05:002022-01-31T16:57:06-05:00Sgt Private RallyPoint Member7506307<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>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.Response by Sgt Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 31 at 2022 7:38 PM2022-01-31T19:38:01-05:002022-01-31T19:38:01-05:00SSgt Christophe Murphy7507076<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Your friend needs to submit their own package. <br />They will need to have a clear medical profile before submitting. <br />What did your Chaplain say when you asked them for guidance?Response by SSgt Christophe Murphy made Feb 1 at 2022 8:25 AM2022-02-01T08:25:15-05:002022-02-01T08:25:15-05:00CH (CPT) Private RallyPoint Member7563944<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>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.Response by CH (CPT) Private RallyPoint Member made Mar 9 at 2022 5:34 PM2022-03-09T17:34:07-05:002022-03-09T17:34:07-05:00CH (CPT)(P) Private RallyPoint Member7596362<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Not 100% sure about when commissioning but am 100% sure that they will NOT be able to graduate BOLC on a temporary profile, as I went with several who were injured at BOLC and had to come off of it to graduate.Response by CH (CPT)(P) Private RallyPoint Member made Mar 28 at 2022 8:40 PM2022-03-28T20:40:23-04:002022-03-28T20:40:23-04:002022-01-31T14:13:58-05:00
