You guys think that the same senior leaders who immediately took away our constitutional rights to protest and attend church because of this virus are going to give a shit about anyone's sincerely held beliefs? Yeah right. They will only care about their fitrep. Their fitrep will be good if their boss is happy, and their bosses are politicians who will force the vax on everyone unless enough people play chicken with them that the politicians actually have to blink first.
Here's a question, though. Can anyone give me a good reason why they will not just tell everyone that if they don't want the vax they can just repay any bonus money at the prorated amount and get out with an honorable discharge? Sure, it's bad for the Navy (retention issues, lost money training folks, etc.), but we waste way more money than that just giving it away in humanitarian relief to the f'ing Taliban and other countries who don't even like us. Seems like the humanitarian thing to do here, without question, is let people out if they feel that strongly about it, rather than forcing them to do an irreversible medical procedure that they don't want or face a possible OTH.
