I posted this in another thread but reposting since this is stickied and relevant:
Servicemembers, you are entitled to apply for religious accommodation. This link is a great general resource with info and templates to get you started and have sections tailored to each branch's unique rules and regulations.
If you're Air Force, you need to check out DAFI 52-201 dated 23 June 2021 which I confirmed with the Chaplain's staff today that it's the latest guidance on this subject.
You initiate the process by submitting a signed memorandum to your commander requesting religious accommodation. What you say in the memo is up to you, but the first link has a few templates in the Air Force RA guide that could be a good starting point.
You will have to be counseled on readiness/deployability by your commander, then you will be counseled by a chaplain and a physician. Legal will also have to review your case. The MAJCOM commander is the ultimate approval authority.
If you are denied, you are entitled to appeal to the Surgeon General.
If your appeal is denied, there are lawyers referenced at the end of the Air Force RA guide (first link).
Godspeed.
Wow. Good luck trying to have any hope for promotion. This is career suicide. Unfair to people who just wanted to serve.
"This is career suicide."
I mean, getting kicked out, or quitting, is an even bigger career suicide.
Chances are I'll be getting a general or OtH discharge. That's okay though, no amount of benefits will persuade me to get the vax especially since I didn't want to re-enlist anyways.
Good the military shouldn’t be about careers and promotions. This is not some consulting company where everyone is a piece of shit who just wants to make as much money as possible for the sake of making money. People should serve their time and gtfo out of the military. It’s these career political officers that ruined our military
Dude how the fuck do you think you get a good general officer. It’s not by railroading the good leaders. That was my point from a veteran’s perspective. Don’t presume my intent.
