Military Chapels are available to all Active Duty and Reserve Service Members and their family members with a valid military ID card. The benefit is extended to retired Service Members as long as they are entitled to full benefits.
Military chapels have an application process to reserve chapels.
Most local Chapels require that you fill out their application form in person, but some are willing to fax it to you or receive information over the phone. This process will inform you and your officiating clergy of exactly what can and cannot be done in a military chapel. U.S. Navy Chaplains generally require pre-marital counseling at least three months in advance prior to agreeing to officiate at a wedding ceremony. A rare few are not endorsed to perform weddings. Chaplains must conform to their faith group requirements regarding marriage ceremonies.
