CRP JARGON Jargon is generally defined as language that is  peculiar  to  a  particular  trade  or  profession. Chaplains   and   RPs   should   be   cautious   when using  language  that  may  not  be  understood  by individuals not closely associated with the CRP. For  example,  the  term  “Command  Religious Program  (CRP)”  should  be  used  whenever appropriate   to   emphasize   the   “Command” nature  of  the  religious  program.  Also,  the  term “Chaplain’s  Office”  should  be  avoided  when referring to an entire chapel complex; the correct term  is  “Office  of  the  Chaplain.” “Command   Chaplain”   should   be   used instead  of  “Senior  Chaplain”  when  referring  to the  chaplain  who  has  been  designated  by  the commanding  officer  to  direct  the  operation  of the   office   of   the   chaplain.   “Command Chaplain” is   a   functional   title   while   “Senior Chaplain” refers to a chaplain’s rank in relation to  other  chaplains, Chaplains  of  all  ranks  are  addressed  by  the term   “Chaplain”   in   most   instances.   Terms   of address   which   are   common   within   particular faith   groups   such   as   “Father,”   “Pastor,”   or “Rabbi” may   be   used   when   appropriate. However,  the  RP  should  refer  to  assigned chaplains  by  the  term  “Chaplain”  regardless  of rank  since  it  is  common  to  all  faith  groups  and expresses  the  identity  of  the  clergy  within  the military  community. 1-18
