CHAPLAIN CAREERS:

The New Jersey Army National Guard is accepting applications from priests, ministers, imams, rabbis, and divinity students to serve both as Chaplains and Chaplain Candidates. Qualified Chaplains and Chaplain Candidates are eligible to receive exceptional educational opportunities, pay, compensation, benefits, and retirement opportunities.

WE WANT YOU!

If you are a priest, minister, rabbi, or imam, you may be eligible for appointment as an officer in the Army National Guard Chaplain Corps or (if you are pursuing a divinity degree) you may be eligible for entrance into the Army National Guard Chaplain Candidate Program. As a military spiritual leader, you will play a vital role in the lives of the men and women of the New Jersey Army National Guard. Chaplains also minister to the needs of the soldiers' families: wives, husbands, and children. As an Army Chaplain, you will have the opportunity to participate in specialized workshops and receive educational training to enhance your ministerial skills.

JOIN US!

If criteria are met, an application packet is assembled by the Officer Specialty Branch, New Jersey Army National Guard Recruiting Command. That packet is forwarded through military channels to the "branch specific approval authority" for review and consideration. This process takes approximately 3-6 months from the date of the application.
