Unmasked military members on military bases can be asked for proof of vaccination status

| July 16, 2021

Fort Rucker announced that military personnel on base, without a mask, could be asked for proof that they are fully vaccinated. Although this was a recent announcement, a DOD memorandum published last month authorized all commanders to do this. Military members who are not fully vaccinated are required to wear masks outdoors and indoors while on military bases.

From the Army Times:

Current policy permits fully-vaccinated troops, civilians and contractors to go without a face mask on military bases. Unvaccinated personnel are still required to wear masks.

Any commander or supervisor can ask unmasked uniformed personnel about their vaccination status, not just those at Fort Rucker. The installation wasn’t the first to put out this guidance, either.

DoD issued updated force health protection directions on June 22 directly authorizing commanders to ask unmasked personnel about their vaccination status.

“In accordance with this guidance, unmasked, fully vaccinated service members should be prepared to show proof of vaccination (CDC vaccination card or other medical documentation),” said the announcement accompanying the guidance. “Service members and civilian employees who misrepresent their vaccination status may be subject to appropriate adverse administrative or punitive actions.”

They tried to hold one of my nephews back a grade. It was not his fault, it was the lockdown. The school and his family disagreed on where he should be. I challenged the school to give him a placement test online because of COVID. They agreed with me. I took the test for him. The results came back yesterday. My nephew reports to kindergarten this fall.

SIEG HEIL COMPLIANCE AND PARANOIA!!!

But they are still prohibited from asking the troops if they are HIV Positive, correct? Hack Stone was under the mistaken impression that medical conditions were covered under HIPAA. If they can toss out your right to bear arms without a second thought, why should your right to be privacy not be up for grabs too?

“bear arms”

And what about those tatoos as a bar to enlistment?

Are they now taking applications for the Zamploit positions or are those to be appointed slots? Will there be a time in service or a time in grade requirement? Does prior experience of being a rat fink or knowledge of how to shred the Constitution count toward promotion points?

Asking for a spapos.

How do they square this crap with HIPAA?

I can see a lot of counterfeit vaxxports and wristbands coming up soon.
““Service members and civilian employees who misrepresent their vaccination status may be subject to appropriate adverse administrative or punitive actions.””
And then what?

I can also see enlistment and reenlistment of conservative types falling through the floor. A lot of (re)enlistment NCOs aren’t going to make quotas.
The only one entering and remaining will be the LibTards, trannys, & those prone to respiratory illness due to wearing the face diaper.

re: lower reenlistment rates-that’s a feature not a bug

The Potato Regime continues its march across the Laws of Nature.

“Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of [Pudding Cups] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.” — “The Declaration of Mean Words About Poopiepant’s Lies”, The Tea-in-Harbor Boys (1776-ish)

Back in 1930’s and 40’s Germany a certain people in noncompliance had to wear a yellow badge with “JUDE” on it, nowadays those not in compliance with the paranoia have to wear a MASK.

Y’all excuse me while I go give my DD214 another hug and a kiss!

Come on, API! You know pointing that out is too accurate of an example, therefor verboten. Remember MTG had to prostrate herself in front of God and country for daring to do the same?

I can’t wait for the round-ups, “Just get on the f**king train, you dirty [virusbag]!”.

Why is this news?

Here in Fort Carson that has been the rule for a while. I always carry my covid vaccination card on me, and the 1SG posts a weekly vaccination update on the Company board with the dates guys who have taken the vaccine can take their masks off, 14 days after second shot.

So the next thing will be the parade of ‘voluntary’ booster shots for whatever new covid flavor. Sure, they can’t technically force people to get them, but they can sure force a mask on anybody that stops being ‘cool’ with agreeing.

I wonder if the mask-up executive order will ever really be officially lifted.
