Army Chaplaincy

I'm a prior service veteran who is working on my Bachelor's in Christian Studies. I have had the call to ministry for some time now, and want to go back into the Army as a Chaplain. What can I do to prepare now while still in undergrad school besides getting involved in a local church. I am looking a the Reserve Chaplain Candidate program, and any suggestions as to what I can do to prepare now would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks!

I am also working towards becoming a military chaplain. Once you have your bachelor's degree of no less than 120 semester hours or are in your senior year of college you can apply for the chaplain candidate program. You will also need to be a full-time graduate student at an accredited seminary or theological school in order to qualify. After you meet these requirements, I suggest finding an endorsing agency that will grant ecclesiastical endorsement and then speak to a chaplain recruiter.
