In order to fulfill the pastoral requirements set forth by the Armed Forces and the Commission, you need to possess pastoral skills to be endorsed as an Active Duty military chaplain. Pastoral skills include: sermon preparation and delivery, counseling, leading worship services and conducting sacerdotal acts such as weddings, funerals, communion services and baby dedications. The military wants pastors they can train to be chaplains, not chaplains that they have to train to be pastors.
