Confidentiality Notice (MRE 503): Messages sent to chapelhickam@gmail.com or 647abg.hc@us.af.mil are accessed by multiple administrative and support personnel. Transmissions through these channels are not 100% confidential and do not qualify for clergy-penitent privilege under MRE 503. For confidential pastoral counseling, please contact a Chaplain directly at 808-789-8111 or 57/7 Command Post for the On-Call Duty Chaplain at 808-448-6900.
Please be advised: Any electronic message, inquiry, or attachment transmitted to our organizational email addresses (chapelhickam@gmail.com or 647abg.hc@us.af.mil), or submitted via general website contact forms, is delivered to a shared organizational inbox.
These accounts are actively monitored and processed by multiple team members—including Religious Affairs Airmen and administrative personnel—to facilitate chapel administration, facility reservations, program scheduling, and general communications.
Impact on Privilege & Confidentiality: Communications sent to these shared inboxes are not private. Consequently, messages sent to chapelhickam@gmail.com or 647abg.hc@us.af.mil are not covered by absolute confidentiality under Military Rule of Evidence (MRE) 503 (Communications to Clergy) or equivalent ecclesiastical privileges.
Seeking Confidential Spiritual Care or Pastoral Counseling: If you are seeking privileged spiritual counseling, confession, or conscience-related guidance under the full protection of MRE 503, do not send sensitive or private matters to either organizational address. Instead, please establish direct contact with a Chaplain:
