So sorry to hear this. But you do what YOU have to do.
If you decide to NOT get the jab and are separated, I suggest you write a letter to your CoC explaining why you are not complying with the order (if it even IS an order)(religious, medical, personal beliefs, etc). You may also want to keep a copy and have someone in your command initial that they received it (CYA). You never know what could happen in the future and that letter may come in handy. Something to keep in mind though is policy, suggestion, coercion, etc, are NOT orders and they can't do anything to you. They can make your life unhappy but they have no legal recourse.
I'm with you and appreciate that. I'm working on getting a lawyer now, because you're correct that this is coercion and, since they're completely ignoring our religious exemptions, it's all completely illegal. I have been very civil so far, but I have made very good arguments against these policies and have made my arguments known to everyone. Everyone has basically used me as a launchpad because they got brave after I raised hell (through calm argument) about no one above us having the balls to be a leader and defend us. Everyone has been on my side, so we are almost all not taking it, with the exception of a couple here and there.
I won't take it, but I can get a job elsewhere, so I'm stressed, but not overly so. I know I've got you frens with me! And I mean that.
It sounds like you are handling things well. Maybe you can make this into a class action suit by having others join you. I know there are a couple of law suits going on with other members of the service maybe this can be another.
Kudos to you and keep us updated. From one vet to another, drive on.

Don't stress, everything happens for a reason.
