Work Environment
Wherever Chaplains are stationed, Religious Program Specialists are
there to assist. Working indoors, in the field, on bases, in
hospitals or in combat situations, they may serve literally
anywhere in the world.
Serving part-time as a Navy Reserve Sailor, your duties will be
carried out during your scheduled drilling and training periods.
During monthly drilling, Religious Program Specialists in the Navy
Reserve typically work at a location close to their homes.
For Annual Training, Religious Program Specialists may serve
anywhere in the world, whether on a ship at sea, bases and
installations on shore, or in the field.

responsibilities of Navy Reserve Sailors .
Training & Advancement
Upon completion of initial 7-9 week Recruit Training (known as Boot
Camp), those pursuing a Religious Program Specialist role report to
the Naval Chaplaincy School & Center at Fort Jackson, SC, where
they receive formal Navy training at "A" School for 8 weeks. From
there, Religious Program Specialists attend "C" School for 5 weeks
of marine combat training.
Promotion opportunities are regularly available but competitive and
based on performance. It's also important to note that specialized
training received and work experience gained in the course of
service can lead to valuablecredentialing and occupational
opportunitiesin related fields.
Most of what you do in the Navy Reserve is considered training. The
basic Navy Reserve commitment involves training a minimum of one
weekend a month (referred to as drilling) and two weeks a year
(referred to as Annual Training) - or the equivalent of that.
Religious Program Specialists in the Navy Reserve serve in an
Enlisted role. Before receiving the ongoing professional training
that comes with the job, initial training requirements must be
met.
For current or former military Enlisted servicemembers: Prior
experience satisfies the initial Recruit Training requirement - so
you will not need to go through Boot Camp again.
For those without prior military experience: You will need to meet
the initial Recruit Training requirement by attending Boot Camp for
seven to nine weeks in Great Lakes, IL. This training course will
prepare you for service in the Navy Reserve and count as your first
Annual Training.

certifications, Navy training in the field of religion can
