US Air Force to reverse adverse actions related to COVID-19 vaccine exemption request

| February 28, 2023

Actions taken against Airmen who had requested exemptions from the COVID-19 vaccination will be reversed. Airmen who have had negative entries placed in their records will have these negative entries removed. Impacted Airmen will not need to take any action to initiate this process, the Air Force will automatically initiate this process.

From the Dayton Daily News:

The Air Force will remove “adverse information” from records of service members who sought an exemption on religious, administrative, or medical grounds and who had those actions taken against them “solely due to their refusal to take the vaccine,” the service said.

Service members do not need to initiate any actions for their records to be updated, the Air Force said.

Examples of adverse actions include letters of admonishment, counseling or reprimand, and records of individual counseling; nonjudicial punishments issued solely for vaccine refusal; and referral performance reports issued solely for vaccine refusal.

Promotion records will be also be corrected, the Air Force said. In addition, current involuntary discharge proceedings will be terminated.

The Department of Defense in January formally rescinded its mandate requiring members of the military to get the COVID-19 vaccine, after the fiscal year 2023 defense budget required the rescission.

The vaccine mandate is the subject of a federal lawsuit in which dozens of airmen who serve or have served at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base — among others — allege that the Air Force refused to grant exemptions from the mandate for reasons of religious belief.

In an order last year for the “Hunter Doster, et al. v. Hon Frank Kendall, et al.” lawsuit, the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court’s order denying the federal government’s appeal to require a class of Air Force members to get the vaccines.

The Dayton Daily News has additional information.

“Military Services Will Amend COVID Vaccine Refuser Records So They Aren’t Passed Over for Promotions”

https://www.military.com/daily-news/2023/02/27/military-services-will-amend-covid-vaccine-refuser-records-so-they-arent-passed-over-promotions.html

“All of the military services are currently reworking their policies to adjust separation and promotion records for service members who refused to get the COVID-19 vaccine, after the Pentagon ended the inoculation mandate last month.”

“The Pentagon directed all the services to “formally rescind any policies, directives, and guidance implementing those vaccination mandates as soon as possible, if they have not already done so,” according to a Friday press release.”

“The service branches must notify the Pentagon that they’ve made the changes no later than March 17.”

“The new policy guidance to the services makes no mention of reinstating service members who were separated from the military for refusing the shot.”

Too little too late. The hemorrhage of talent continues unabated.

Gee, that’s big of them. Should never have happened in the first place!

I doubt their records will become unblemished.
They will wear their lack of scar forever.

We could of sworn that on TAH there were some of us who stated the COVID virus was manufactured in a lab…and intentionally released by the Chinese…

We were mocked as being “Conspiracy Nuts”…and those that mocked us said the virus came from bats from wet markets…

Who is now having the last laugh…?

“CCP Government ‘Intentionally Released’ COVID-19 ‘All Over The world,’ Chinese Virologist Says”

“A Chinese virologist who sounded the alarm in early 2020 about where the coronavirus came from said Monday the U.S. has reached a “milestone achievement” after a classified intelligence report from the Energy Department reportedly found the virus most likely originated in a Chinese lab.”

The vaccines were also produced in a lab and intentionally
released or should I say “forced” upon the public.
No need for an accidental release here.

Guilty as charged and upon the advice of my lawer, I throw myself upon the mercy of the TAH Court.

A deliberate and calculated attack upon the world by the Chinese Communists, aided and abetted by the foreign and domestic enemies of the Republic of these States United.

There will come a reckoning.

President Elect Toxic Deplorable Racist SAH Neande

No mercy needed from the TAH court, as there was nothing wrong committed.
Speaking truth (especially “truth to power”) is not a crime.

USMC Steve

We said just that, and it was established within the first ten days or so of the outbreak that it came from a biological warfare research center in Wuhan. That is what that place works on, by the way.

C’mon man the bat story was working. Dozens of people around the world working at news networks believes it.

Began in the lab and spread from the wet market. Me thinks possibly someone from the lab decided to make money by selling the bats they were finished experimenting with. Behold a Chinese delicacy:

“Boil the bat stock with lemon grass, galangal, kaffir leaves, and vegetables until it simmers. Diced the bat meat without the bones and put it in until it cooks. Season with salt, sugar, and white pepper. And squash lime on top of it to brighten its flavor, yum yum! Serve it hot with rice.”

OK USAF, now tell me how you plan on “reversing” the tendency of America’s utes to tell your recruiters to kindly go fuck. Share that info with the other branches.

“Air Force Shoots Down Military Spouse After Mistaking It For Spy Balloon”

https://www.duffelblog.com/p/air-force-shoots-down-military-spouse

“The US Air Force has shot down a military spouse over a base in Texas after mistaking the “large, blimp-like object” for a Chinese spy balloon.”

“All these spy balloon sightings have had us on high alert. When we saw this globular, bulbous mass lurching towards base we had to take it out,” Maj. Derek Lambert said. “Turns out it was just Staff Sgt. Johnson’s wife going to the commissary to get a party size bag of Doritos.”

“This isn’t the first incident where mistaken enemy spy technology has led to dire consequences. Just last week in Florida, fourteen obese Army veterans were killed in a firefight after mistaking one another for World War I-era German dirigibles.”

“Hey, we were just kidding when we said you were unreliable & didn’t mean to disrupt your life plans. Come back, all will be forgotten & your place on the team was saved just for you. Now just put your John Henry back on the blank check”

I hope that karma catches up to those “higher-ups” across all the branches who were less then professional when doling out the discipline & enjoyed doing so.

“An All Female Team of Pilots conducted the Super Bowl pregame flyover for the first time this year – but the Navy staged the historic moment by booting several male aviators days before the big game.”

“A ln all-woman crew wasn’t always the plan, with a handful of men picked and “very, very excited” for the flyover before they were abruptly told they were being replaced…”

“Women make up roughly 20% of the Navy overall, but there are only between 7% and 12% women pilots, Military.com reported.”

Suuuure. Pull my other leg.
As Ronaldus Maximus said, “Trust, but verify”.

“The Internet is forever” statement is nothing compared to trying to correct a military record.

….Sooooo much this. I wouldn’t trust them as far as i could throw them.

The class action lawsuits against DOD should continue, and force Austin to defend his position, regardless of what the services are doing to reverse their fucked up policies.

Sarge

Also, there is nothing allegedly being done to the thousands that were already forced out because they refused the jab.

That’s the biggest thing that bothers me.

Forest Bondurant

Meanwhile, people like Fauci get to retire and escape accountability for perpetuating a lie against the American people. Makes me fucking sick.

Berliner

Reparation$ for those separated? I recall an instance that made the news of a Coast Guard rescue diver days from separation making the news with a rescue that even was mentioned by Dementia Joe.

Swormy

I had an approved retirement request when they started this mandatory jab nonsense.

About this time the Army suddenly realized they were facing a shortage of Senior NCO’s who were getting out and were allowing Soldiers to pull their packets and orders if they hadn’t reached RCP yet.

My chain of command asked me if I’d like to stay for a couple more years. My response was “Nah, I’m good.” So glad I didn’t take the bait.
