A major reason that we wear uniforms is to set us apart and to be identified as members of the United States Chaplains
Corps. The uniform guidelines are simple and easy to follow. Any duty uniform should display your emblem of faith, rank insignia
and any authorized awards or decorations. Please be careful in wearing the uniform as we do not to violate any state or federal
laws pretaining to uniforms, decorations and etc.
For those wishing to have a uniform, this will serve as a basic guide for doing so. Be sure that everyone has the same
uniform in style and color.
