There are no reasons an active duty member can refuse to deploy. Only a severe enough medical issue, like cancer, heart, lung, kidney, liver, or brain issues, or pregnancy, which would preclude the member from service to begin with, OR a severe enough injury, which, when recovered, would STILL see the member deployed. Pregnancy falls under this latter category.
Actually, cancer won't even stop a deployment. There was a Supply Corps Lt aboard Nimitz during my 2nd Cruise who had metastisized testicular cancer, and he even was forced to deploy until the cancer was so bad he couldn't perform his job. He died 6 wks after being separated from active duty. We buried him at sea later on in the deployment.
Once in, conscientious objecting is off the table, too. If you object to deploying under moral, ethical, or religious reasons, you still get booted with either a Dishonorable or BCD, depending on the attitude of the member in question, and the attitudes of their superior officers, ESPECIALLY their C.O. and commanding General or Admiral.
I served for 9 yrs, deployed on two 6 mth Carrier deployments with USS NIMITZ and all of the work ups/sea trials before the cruises, then went to EOD and deployed a few more times to the M.E., and I'm TELLING you, there IS NO WAY an active duty member can refuse to deploy and get away with it. It's been tried. I've seen it attempted with my own eyes. And each time, they failed, were Court Martialed or sent to Non-Judicial Punishment (Captain's Mast in the Navy, Office Hours in the Army, USMC, USAF), and then unceremoniously kicked out with either a Dishonorable or a BAD Conduct Discharge. And that was usually after serving either Brig time, or what's called Restriction. The day after they were released from the Brig or Restriction was their last day on active duty.
The ONLY time an active duty member may be able to get away with it is if they are in the first 6 MTHS of service. (Which, btw, is hardly ever with the amount of schooling that takes place before the member gets to their first official duty station.) At that point, it becomes an administrative issue, because the first 6 mths are a probationary period of sorts. But, like I said, that hardly ever happens due to the amount of training and the time it takes.
Whoever made this meme never served on active duty.
And clearly, neither have you.
You’re not grasping the meme. It’s used in the context of the draft. Further, I didn’t make the meme but I did serve 5 years honorably, and for a period I was “non-deployable” bc I was under physican’s care, orthodontist. Fact.
