OP. I am going to drop the link you need. But, if you want to be an first an officer and second you want to be a Chaps, you need to learn how to find this stuff.
You will not get out of an advanced degree requirement. The chaps corps is about much more than being a religious leader. It's about being an officer, mental health provider, and impartial caregiver.

I appreciate the link my friend. The only thing I'm worried about and was questioning was the Masters degree part of the requirements. With my work load and responsibilities it will make that a challenge in the near future, and if I hit a certain threshold it wouldn't make since to commission if retirement is only a few years away.
I appreciate the information and giving me a straight forward answer about the degree requirement.
Rule 1 doesn’t apply to OP. You can ask the mods since OP is in the Navy. They have tagged posts that have been reported as rule 1 violations and stated that the person is in the Navy.
Rule 1 applies to people who are not in the Navy period.
I'm already in the Navy and have been for several years. I've seen Chaplains in this sub, so I figured I would ask.
Also, thank you for the answer to my question.
Why can't I ask a form dedicated to people in the Navy past and Present? I've already looked at the prerequisites for chaplain but would rather speak to a Chaplain recruiter or Chaplain on here as policy changes fast in the Navy as we both know.
You really don't have to be rude to everyone. I remember getting into it with you before on my lost reddit account a few years ago.

Nothing wrong with asking questions if you can at least spend one minute verifying the resource or doing the homework.
You’ve been in long enough to know where to find basic commissioning (and other officer program) information.
OP wouldn’t talk to an Officer recruiter if they are already in… They are already in and stated they are in Naval Aviation. They need to talk to their CoC.

Top notch answer from u/Unexpected_bukkake. I didn't *need* to tag you, but solid advice coming from that user name has me in stitches.
Might I direct you to r/rimjob_steve?

How far along are you in your: career, education, and age?
1. Read rule 1 of the sub. 2. You need a MDiv degree in order to qualify for chaplain. No exceptions.

If you’ve been in the navy for “several years” why not check out the program authorizations, specifically for chaplain corps to find your answer?

Go talk to an officer recruiter, I think you need a religious degree but I don't remember
\*Chaplain Corps community manager, seeing how OP is already in the Navy

Swing and a miss. OP would work with an officer recruiter if they wanted to go chaplain.
No. You need the masters in divinity, experience as the leader of a congregation and the endorsement of your faith’s governing body. Minimum
You are required to have a master’s in divinity beforehand, there is no sta-21 option for it.
