287.18(M1) Figure 4-17.—Final Taps. which  they  are  assigned,  civilian  clergypersons  or visiting chaplains may officiate as requested by the couple. The officiating chaplain or clergyperson will most likely be of the same faith as the couple. Since chaplains like other Navy personnel are subject  to  being  transferred,  it  can  be  expected that  customs  and  procedures  regulating  marriage ceremonies in chapels will change over a period of time.   This   being   the   case   the   chapel   brochure should reflect current practices in the chapel. FEES.—Chaplains  on  active  duty  are  paid  by the  Government  and  are  prohibited  by  law  from charging  fees  or  receiving  gratuities  for  services rendered to military personnel and their dependents. When a civilian clergyperson (minister, priest, or rabbi) assists the chaplain at a wedding    or    when    clergypersons    officiate    at weddings  in  their  own  churches  or  synagogues, they normally receive a fee. PREMARITAL COUNSELING.—The preparation for  marriage  includes  much  more  than  arranging for the ceremony. Whether it is to a formal military wedding  or  a  simple  ceremony  the  chaplain   or clergyperson    may    desire    to    spend    time    in counseling  the  couple  before  the  wedding  takes place.   Some   faiths   have   special   requirements associated with premarital counseling. The RP will need to obtain this information from the officiating chaplain or clergyperson. The RP should schedule premarital counseling sessions  in  coordination  with  the  request  of  the chaplain and the couple concerned. The RP should schedule   the   wedding,   rehearsals,   and   related activities as directed by the chaplain. The chaplain may specify, in writing, any special items or areas of concern which need to be addressed prior to the scheduling    of    the    rehearsal    or    the    wedding ceremony. These instructions should be placed on file  with  the  application  for  use  of  the  chapel  to permit   immediate   followup   by   the   RP   and   for future reference. The Chapel The chapel is usually reserved on a first come, first served basis in accordance with 4-24
