MiliPede here. I’ve been told that every single Religious Accommodation Request that has been submitted in my command is being denied. Official denials to be handed down shortly. We have been instructed that we have 72 hours to get the clot shot, get out, or submit an appeal once we hear officially. I’m going the appeal route as it will buy me an additional 30 days (maybe). The appeals will go to the Surgeon General. I would like to include as many legit studies as possible that highlight how ineffective the shots are, as well as studies that prove COVID is a nothing-burger compared to how dangerous the shots are. The religious appeal didn’t work so I want to hit them with as much medical logic and reason as I can. Thanks for your help frens! Best community there is.

Med exemptions are MUCH harder than Religious ones. You should review title 7 of the civil rights act and resubmit it. If they say all religious exemptions are being denied that is itself prima facia evidence of religious discrimination in violation of the civil rights act and the free exercise clause of the constitution.
He's in the military and is subject to the UCMJ, which is the driving law of the military. Enlistment or commissioned officers sign a contract that basically suspends their Constitutional Rights until their contract expires. The law of maritime is outlined in the UCMJ. It is is not Constitutional law, but maritime law.
Generally this is true, except for in contract law. One can read this from the Constitution where it outlines it pretty clearly. The military is given its own set of laws to govern it while at the same time the military is to protect the Constitution of the United States.
