The Chaplain Corps received a limited number of indefinite recall quotas for Fiscal Year 2025 and is seeking qualified Navy Reserve Component officers seeking a recall to the Active Component (AC) and able to return to active service prior to September 2025.
Rank Requirements: We have been authorized to indefinitely recall two (2) CDRs, six (6) LCDRs, and seventeen (17) LTs/LTJGs (preferably from FY16-FY21).
At this time, interested LCDRs and LTs/LTJGs can continue to submit eligibility requests for FY-25 indefinite recall by following the below INDEF RECALL Process.
NOTE: No retired personnel will be considered for these recalls.
INDEF RECALL Process:
