A Navy chaplain was promoted to the rank of captain by Chief of Naval Chaplains Rear Adm. Mark Tidd during a promotion ceremony at the U.S. Naval Academy Chapel Sept. 3. Capt. Michael Gore is the senior chaplain at the Naval Academy, leading a team of active duty chaplains, enlisted religious program specialists, civilian staff, and volunteers responsible for delivering counseling and ministry to 4,500 Midshipmen and the Annapolis public. Promotions are a significant part of any military career and a central event to share with friends and family. Gore was accompanied by his wife and son, who serves in the U.S. Air Force. Gores promotion to the rank of captain was one more milestone in a Navy career that began in 1995.
