Generally chaplains are ordained ministers/priests/rabbis/etc.
who join the military after their ordination. My father was a chaplain's
assistant in the Army, which was a voluntary post and did not require
ordination.
I also knew the USAF's only recognised ordained Wiccan
priestess. She was not considered a chaplain, but was entitled to hold
services on base for interested parties.

Subject: [WW] Chaplains
What were the requirements (Real World) for becoming a
chaplain in the armed forces, of any nation? I would -guess- that they'd have
to be ordained in some fashion, but I don't know. And what about the German
chaplains? That would be an interesting NPC to base a German campaign around,
the mentor for the low-level PCs who directs them against supernatural
threats...
