As for my personal update, my Chaplain Candidate packet has been ready since September but, for one reason or another, has missed getting to the board the past few months. The next board is 8-9 December and my packet should be there. Once accepted, I will have 30 - 90 days until I receive my oath of office and switch to Reserve/Seminary student. When I'm finished with seminary I'll attend CHBOLC (Chaplain Basic Officer Leadership Course) for three months then switch from candidate to chaplain. It's a long process but worth it in the end. Word of advice: In the Army, if you have a dream of success it will take time to achieve and most likely be a long process but be persistent because in the end it will pay off.
