Please help with this critical career choice?!?

In order to qualify to be a Chaplain in any military service you have to accomplish several things. First of all, you have to meet the height, weight and physical requirements to be a soldier. Second, you must meet the requirements to be an officer and that includes a degree from an accredited university. And third, you have to have a Masters in Theology, be ordained by an approved organization, volunteer for an dbe supported by that authority as a Chaplain representing that faith in the Uniformed Services of the United States. If it were me in your shoes at this point in time, I would concentrate on getting the degree. If you are grounded in your faith, and apparently you are, you know God will provide what is needed, including direction and guidance. College is not easy, and it shouldn't be. Part and parcel of getting through college is the challenge of managing your resources and finances in such a way as to get through the programs. You need to seek your ordaining authority and talk to them about getting into a Masters program from an accredited religious school, and they can help you more along the way. The ROTC staff there should be able to direct you a little more clearly as to what you need to do in order to get into that program. You might also look up the United States Army Chaplain School at Fort Jackson, SC for more advice and guidance. See attached link.
