There is a DOD Form 3150 - Certification of Vaccination in which we must attest that we are vacvinated.
If you read the form, the consqeuences are being "treated as not fully vaccinated for purposes of implementing safety measures, including with respect to mask wearing, physical distancing, testing, travel, quarantine, and restrictions to DoD facilities and environments."
First off, they refuse to send us to telework even tbough most of the people i work with could do 95% of their work (no exaggeration) at home. The refusal of telework while simultaneously sending is emails saying how horrific covid is just shows that this is political, not actually out of caution. They were always going to make vax mandatory for us.
Second, how can i, as a hands on engine and gearbox engineer, do my job with no access to the test cells? I can't test engines and gearboxes from home. Data from these tests cant be sent to my comouter at home because its locked down data you dont want in the open, so i have to be there to see it. Not trying to sound high and mighty, but engoneers like me that are hands on and actually love our job and are excellent troubleshooters are not replaceable. Our military is the loser in this. The young 22 year old pilots now have to worry about quality and engine reliability when piloting a helicopter or jet. Thats who i worry about. I want them to have safe equipment.
I received my DD3150 yesterday and it's interesting to note that the DoD isn't currently requiring proof of vaccination; just an attestation that you have, haven't or refuse to answer.
It'll be interesting to see if they will require individuals who've been "vaccinated" to show proof (vax card) or is there some type of database the government will tap into to verify ones vaccination status.
I had the same question. I have a card...if you know what I mean.
Proving vaccination status with a "card" would be anyones best bet who is against the jab. That being said; if there is a centralized database being created behind the scenes of those who have actually had the shot is another story. If that's the way they're verifying who is and isn't, then falsifying that information on an official government form could end badly for that individual.
Yep, we're on the same page. I'm not actually showing my card at all for that reason, I only have it for if they want us to flash it at them as a visual check kind of deal. You're 100% right that if there is a database we don't know about, people could be screwed by showing a fake card.
A lot of the hands on people are also the ones that won’t get the vax. Watch the whole machine fall apart as the wrench turners leave.
Which might be the point as he is a Chinese asset
And when I say they refuse "us" I mean a huge group of engineers I work with who write statements of work, project managers, planners, cost adjusters, etc. I have a team mentality so even though we have different jobs, we have the same goal. Almost everyone here can telework and get their work done with the occasional office visit or meeting.
Good. Maybe those fools that promoted & funded the bioweapons research at Chapel Hill will get their just deserts!
