The Military Chaplaincy

Advantages

Active Duty

• 30 days of vacation with pay each year
• An additional 15 days of permissive TDY to attend denominational functions
• Receive free medical and dental care, with family care also available
• Low-cost life insurance
• Excellent pay and allowance
• Receive tax-free allowances for housing and meals
• Enjoy shopping privileges at military commissaries and exchanges
• Promotion opportunities
• Qualify for retirement after 20 or more years of service

Although great retirement benefits are provided for our chaplains, the most important advantage is that chaplains are exposed to the most exciting and dynamic ministry opportunities available anywhere. Whether or not one ever retires from the military, he/she will have opportunity to provide spiritual and educational ministries that are distinctly Christian to thousands of men and women who serve in uniform.
