    Can you be a non-religious chaplain? That feels like discrimination if there’s a religious requirement.

    Edit: As of 2018 at least, nope.

      I think there’s a requirement to render counseling services to all denominations, including atheists/agnostics, because the chaplain corps is pretty much the closest the Navy gets to mental health care while deployed. Not the greatest system, in all honesty.
