Career Description

Nothing tests religious beliefs more than the situations our Airmen face every day. They rely on chaplains whose special calling has led them to provide ministry, counseling and moral support to those of any faith. Traveling the world to wherever there's a need, a chaplain must also be able to instantly establish a spiritual center for the unit whether it's in a base chapel or a desert tent. And with none of the administrative duties of running a parish, chaplains are free to lead worship services and observances, privately counsel individuals in times of need and consult with officers on moral, ethical and quality-of-life issues.
