Up-Coming Promotion Board
As many of you now know, the promotion boards are coming up soon. I, along with several others, have received e-mails stating that we are being considered for promotion to the rank of Captain. If anyone has already begun the process of completing your promotion packet, please feel free to comment with some tips for the unitiated / uninformed. I understand that the Chaplain Candidates who have put in their promotion paperwork in recent years have a whopping 100% success rate for promotion to Captain. This is cause for real optimism, but there's not much time left. Only five weeks to go until the promotion board meets on November 7th.

I'm curious how your promotion turned out. Would love to know what you learned.
Thanks
As you know, from chaplain candidate one moves to chaplain. But that does not necessarily mean promotion. If you're going active duty and you have pastoral experience of at least 7 years (unless regs have changed), you walk in captain upon entering active duty. If you have less than the 7 years, you get promoted to captain in 6 months, assuming you are not "all ate up." :-)
If you're going reserves, then you'll be a first lieutenant (1LT) for a while--as in at least 4 years.
But to answer your question directly, as long as you have made sure all your paperwork is squared away and your picture looks good, you'll get promoted if promotion is what you're actually referring to.
