The short answer is "No". Chaplain candidates are in a training status. As such, they are nondeployable. Because chaplain candidates have not yet met the requirements to serve as chaplains, they would be unable to provide any ministerial function while deployed. This will my situation for at least the next four years.
I will, however, be assigned to a local Reserve unit within the next 31 days. I will drill/train with them and assit their Chaplain in his or her (yes, it could be a female Chaplain!) duties.
