I found this picture of a current, serving Navy Rear Admiral Chaplain in Marine service dress interesting - whats the story here?

Retired Rear Adm. Margaret G. Kibben was announced Thursday as Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s choice to be the next House chaplain, replacing the retiring Rev. Patrick J. Conroy. Kibben will be the first female chaplain for either chamber.

6501. GENERAL (UNIFORMS FOR NAVAL PERSONNEL SERVING WITH MARINE UNITS)
1. Navy officers may purchase and wear Marine Corps service uniforms at their option. When the Marine Corps service uniform is worn, Navy officers will abide by Marine Corps grooming and physical appearance standards and the uniform will be worn in the manner prescribed for Marine officers, except as otherwise specified in the USMC uniform regulations. Those officers who do not elect to wear Marine Corps service uniforms will wear the equivalent Navy service uniform and abide by Navy grooming and physical appearance standards. Navy officers may purchase and wear camouflage utility uniforms at their option. When utilities are worn, Navy officers may elect to abide by either Navy or Marine Corps uniform regulations, as outlined for Navy enlisted in the USMC uniform regulations. However, subdued grade insignia will not be worn on the utility uniform, regardless of whether Navy or Marine Corps regulations are followed.
Google is over rated...trust AW!
The Marines get all their medical and chaplain support from the Navy. They have their own JAGs though.
Technically, Naval Officers encompasses Navy, Marine, CG, and a few other cats and dogs. This is why it makes sense for those folks to be Naval Aviators. So the Chaps assigned to USMC units are Navy officers.
Live by the gouge die by the gouge.
When I was an AE at 106 back in 02-04 we had sailors in the shop that were on sea duty and would deploy with the Marine hornet squadrons. One of them qualified FMF and could wear Marine uniforms. Unfortunately him qualifying FMF also meant the Navy would only let him reenlist as a Corpsman....
FWIW, my current command chaplain has been shot down 2x and involved in multiple hours-long firefights in Afghanistan (has served exclusively as a chaplain). The guy's ribbon rack is stacked and gives him some serious street cred.
Are you saying that Chaplains cannot perform a heroic act?
