<p>Is it possible to go to seminary and become an air force chaplain after graduating from the academy. I’m not expecting many to know this answer, but i’m hopin someone will know where i could find out this info.</p>
<p>Best way is to contact a chaplain and ask them. It's not unusual for the path out of ROTC and USAFA to certain programs to be the same.</p>
<p>I do believe my father was showing me an article about an AF chaplain that graduated from the AFA. So it is possible. I'm thinking that its probably not what the academy specializes in though.</p>
<p>Can't find the exact article but it was from the Archdiocese for the Military Services - Welcome</a> to the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA</p>
<p>It's definitely possible, though I know little about the process myself. I'd recommend calling (719) 333-2636 to get in contact with a chaplain here at the Academy.</p>
<p>one of the priests here is an AF chaplain (Catholic, in case you were wondering ;) )...he was on the board that interviewed me and he's my grandparent's parish priest. I THINK he went to the academy, but he may've been ROTC. In any case, he's one of the chaplains at USAFA over the summer.</p>
<p>wonderful story, lol.</p>
<p>The need is certainly great. The Catholic Archbishop who visited USAFA today..."we are desperately short of chaplains."</p>
<p>I found a little more info for you. The link below also lists a variety of ways you can contact them. Good luck!</p>
<p>my 11 year old brother will be pleased to hear that, gasdoc. ;)
he's too cute.</p>
<p>During basic, we had a few reservist priests, and one of them was an academy grad. He was always interesting to listen to, because he had been through all that we had in basic, so he was able to make his homilies applicable. He even warned us about the train in Jack's valley the day before we marched out(2012, you'll find out soon enough...)</p>
<p>That train woke me up every freaking hour! I always woke up thinking it was a generator being turned on. AH!</p>
<p>they are working on a new agreement where upon graduation you could graduate, then go to the seminary and serve your time delayed as a chaplain. particularly with Catholic Priests, there are almost monthly meetings for cadets if they want to discuss vocations and how you can go about it.</p>
<p>if not, at the least several priests have stopped in who graduated, served their 4 years, then went to the seminary and became priests afterwards</p>
