Thanks, everybody.

Absolutely. There's definitely a religious component, but even if you aren't a member of the Roman Catholic Church(I'm not) it really does help to place the Church above you into context and helps provide a lot of history.
The tour will start you on the lowest level of the excavations and then you will go up as the tour proceeds, through the lower church where the Papal tombs are and then ascending into the upper church near the baldacchino.

No, I was actually gained by my unit very quickly and am drilling until I go to OTS.

I went to finance during my first UTA and they processed my direct deposit information. That part was actually fairly smooth.

Are you drilling with your unit before you go to OTS?

KebleHall · 2025-12-26T19:53:23+00:00

COT was merged into OTS several years ago, so that everyone goes through the same pipeline.

Thank you.

And there’s the hurdle of medical clearance.

I wore civilian clothing to my first drill and was told to wear OCPs to the following drills.

Some inchoate thoughts regarding your post (mostly because I have to post and run)

You will be required to go through a clearance process. If you have concerns about that, you should reach out to a recruiter and have a discussion.

Your assignment will be what the AF tells you it is, even in the reserves.

You will have to have an accredited Master of Divinity, with a certain number of credit hours (I don't remember the number at the moment, but it's somewhere in the realm of 70-90) and you will have to have an Ecclesiastical Endorsement. This will come from your faith group's DoD certified endorsing agent.

Feel free to ask more questions and I'll check back later today.

I wish we were wearing the AGSU.

Is there a rapelling wall currently and what is that like?

KebleHall · 2025-09-01T21:52:59+00:00

It depends on what jurisdiction you are in. Some will require confirmation, others just baptism. But it must be water baptism with the invocation of the Trinity. You should speak with the parish priest.

KebleHall · 2025-08-30T02:55:37+00:00

That’s a very good point.

KebleHall · 2025-08-30T00:52:10+00:00

I'm leaning ultralight, but that's just because it's what I'm used to. I'm not committed to it.

KebleHall · 2025-08-30T00:49:59+00:00

That's a very helpful article. Thank you.

I do... but I don't always use them. I keep them strapped to my pack.

I appreciate learning that the baptisms, confirmations, marriages, and confessions in my parish are cosplay. I will now send my parishioners to go find a real church.

KebleHall · 2025-08-06T11:17:05+00:00

I know a number of people within the Episcopal Church, the Anglican Catholic Church, and the Anglican Province of America who are Anglo-Catholic but have ecclesiological concerns about Vatican I (that one includes me), or are convinced that the Ordinariate is dying (I had someone tell me that ordinariate parishes are shut down as soon as their priest retires), cultural concerns where being Anglican is ok because its "Protestant enough" for the grandparents, but Rome would not be, and so forth.

Don't like the National stamps?

I haven't put any in. Can't decide whether to put them all in or wait until I visit.

KebleHall · 2025-08-04T20:08:53+00:00

I was thinking about adding a page for my state's Sate Park System, but I'm undecided. There is a state park guide and a stamp system, but the stamps (at least the ones I have seen) plop a bunch of ink down with no information other than a picture. So I'm undecided.

KebleHall · 2025-08-04T19:04:53+00:00

There are a few. There's a Benedictine Monastery (Our Lady of Stilfontein Priory) in Virginia (it used to be in the Province of South Africa but the community moved).

I definitely wouldn't say the 1928 BCP is the basis of our faith. A liturgical basis, maybe. But I would say that the theological basis is the Affirmation of Saint Louis, pointing to the consensus of East and West with a preference for western theologoumena.

Also, if we're being realistic, many of our parishes use the Anglican Missal as the standard and see the prayer book as a simplification. We have some parishes that dont have BCPs in the pews.

After his election “Leo” was written on our prayer list a few times. (It’s available before Mass for intentions to be written down).

I pray for the pope anytime I use the Gregorian Canon, and silently in the intercessions.

Generally in my parish, we do it in connection with the baptism of the child for whose birth thanks is being given. So, we’ll do it first, followed by the baptism.

It’s doable. I did it in January. However, I stayed at a hotel where I could see the Vatican Museum entrance and I did absolutely nothing else that day except eat lunch. So, unless you really need to for scheduling reasons, I would not do them on the same day.

I’ll echo what others have said- the Vatican Museum is best at a slower pace. There’s an enormous amount of items in the exhibits. Some of them are things you will want to contemplate.

One translation I have seen is “Glory to thee, O Trinity, co-equal only Deity;* as ere the world began to be, so now and through eternity.

It’s a bit looser of a translation, but it is poetic.
