Do You Know How to Transfer Chaplain & CDIs?

CDIs and Chaplains that transfer units retain their appointment as a CDI or Chaplain but are automatically unassigned from all duty assignments. This is true for all transfers. Normally the squadron Commander or Personnel Officer goes into e- services and assigns transfers to duty assignments on squadron software. But it does not work for Chaplains or CDIs. In order to be assigned as the new unit’s CDI or Chaplain the squadron must send a CAPF 2a to NHQ via Lmmeforms@capnhq.gov

HOW TO TRANSFER A CDI OR CHAPLAIN USING CAPF 2a

You fill out sections 1 and 2. In section 2 the fields can be filled in thusly FROM: Unassigned TO: CDI or FROM: ADY TO: CDI.
(The abbreviation ADY standing for Additional Duty.)
Then, of course, the squadron commander “signs” and you forward the form to: Lmmeforms@capnhq.gov
