No, I'm not. It is unimportant. He can wear it 24/7/365 and even during services if he wants to, it is the religious grab he chose to wear and as long as the uniform he wears for the U.S. Navy is adorned with religious symbols it is his religious garb to wear.
It's what the Navy commissioned him to do in the first place.
Now if the Navy wants to do away with the Chaplains, it has the legal right to do so, but so long as his uniform requires religious symbols on it, everytime he appears in it he is doing so for religious purposes.
