It is a non-profit organization that discriminates by religion...

I wondered about that. I served from private to colonel and never heard of
them.

The United States Corps of Chaplains (USCOC) is a volunteer, non-sectarian
Christian, charitable, non-profit 501(c)3 public service organization,
active in community ministry to everyone, but with special emphasis on aid
to active duty military members, veterans, and their family members. The
USCOC is also active in disaster response activities, providing a needed
ministerial presence for victims and responders.

The USCOC is made up of former and retired military personnel and other
patriotic, public spirited, Christian citizens. Membership is open to
Christian Clergy (Ministers) and Laity (non-ordained Christians), Veterans
and Non-Veterans alike.

Members of the USCOC wear distinctive uniforms when in service for easy
identification. The USCOC also uses ranks and unit designations similar to
those of the U.S. Army but the United States Corps of Chaplains is not an
entity of, nor endorsed by, any branch of the military services or the
United States government,

USCOC Chaplains perform religious support in the communities, by preaching,
teaching, and conducting religious services, in accordance with the tenets
and rules of their Christian tradition, the principles of their faith, and
the dictates of conscience. Chaplain Assistants and Ministry Teams assist
the Chaplains in providing religious support to the community. This
religious support includes providing and/or performing worship services,
rites, sacraments, ordinances, pastoral and spiritual care and religious
education to:

NURTURE THE LIVING, CARE FOR THE DYING, HONOR THE DEAD.

Our Mission is to:

"GLORIFY GOD, PROMOTE PATRIOTISM,
HONOR OUR VETERANS, MINISTER TO ALL."

I'm afraid to ask, but where did you receive your military basic, advanced,
officer, chaplain training? And what army posts did you serve at?

I am retired US Air Force and Marine Corps (1977-1994) and was a Chaplain's
Assistant during Desert Shield/Storm/Calm. My "advanced" training as a
Chaplain has come "OJT" (on-the-job training) during several military
memorial services, weddings, and during several natural disasters as well as
the crash of flight 5191 in Lexington, KY not long ago. Ordained by God to
help out where I am needed.

Good. Just occasionally I envy the Yanks for having secularism (pretty
much) enshrined in the constitution. Here in UK, where the Anglican church
is a branch of government, chaplains in both the armed services and National
Health Service are paid-for by the taxpayer.
