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.
