And, this was the last straw for my youngest. The Marines just missed out on a stellar young man.
You might want to verify this, I just ran across this. I hope it’s true, but not 100% sure:

Marines Rebuke Def. Sec.: “No Mandatory Vaccinations for My Marines.”
Marine Corps General David H. Berger on Monday rebuked Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s edict requiring all Armed Forces personnel to submit to Covid-19 vaccinations under threat of court martial or discharge, said a source in Gen. Berger’s office who overheard a heated conversation between them.

Gen. Berger telephoned the defense secretary minutes after he said in a press conference that the Covid-19 vaccination is needed to maintain military readiness and that he would enforce the mandatary vaccination policy regardless of FDA approval status.

“There will be no mandatory vaccinations for my Marines,” Gen. Berger said.

Well this is going to get interesting real quick.......
Well ole Berger finally showed them his BALLS , not sure how long he's going to be in that position but balls ..
My faith in the Marines determination just went back up..
The big factor in this is down at the E3 level .
You have not met anyone until you've met a salty, belligerent lance corporal 0331 machine Gunner . These guys will lay it on the line time and time again .
If Berger has the back of rank and file enlisted the Pentagon can go pound sand .
This my friends is a huge dot...!!!!

I could swear when I read the heading the first time this morning it said Pentagram not Pentagon. Seems the same these days.

I was active duty during mandatory anthrax vax. I never took it. Was ready to get kicked out but I slipped here and juked there...
Same here. I managed to dodge that bullet because I wasn't up for deployment during my last year or so and carefully avoided mentioning that I hadn't had it yet.

Notice the grand pubbas of the Water Buffalo have not said what will happen if you don't get the non FDA jab. A major law suit or two against Milley and that stupid Sec of Defense would get way more attention than they want. Troops, hold the line don't give in.

Here is the SECDEF memo for those interested. For those unable to open, here is the text:

MEMORANDUM FOR ALL DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE EMPLOYEES

SUBJECT: Message to the Force

Aug. 09, 2021

As many of you know, President Biden asked me to consider how and when we might add the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines to the list of those required for all Service members. So, over the last week, I have consulted closely with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Secretaries of the Military Departments, the Service Chiefs, and medical professionals. I appreciate greatly the advice and counsel they provided.

Based on these consultations and on additional discussions with leaders of the White House COVID Task Force, I want you to know that I will seek the President’s approval to make the vaccines mandatory no later than mid-September, or immediately upon the U.S. Food and Drug Agency (FDA) licensure, whichever comes first.

By way of expectation, public reporting suggests the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine could achieve full FDA licensure early next month.

The intervening few weeks will be spent preparing for this transition. I have every confidence that Service leadership and your commanders will implement this new vaccination program with professionalism, skill, and compassion. We will have more to say about this as implementation plans are fully developed.

In the meantime, we will comply with the President’s direction regarding additional restrictions and requirements for unvaccinated Federal personnel. Those requirements apply to those of you in uniform as well as our civilian and contractor personnel.

We will also be keeping a close eye on infection rates – which are on the rise now due to the Delta variant – and the impact these rates might have on our readiness. I will not hesitate to act sooner or recommend a different course to the President if I feel the need to do so. To defend this Nation, we need a healthy and ready force. I strongly encourage all DoD military and civilian personnel – as well as contractor personnel – to get vaccinated now and for military Service members to not wait for the mandate. ‘

All FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccines are safe and highly effective. They will protect
you and your family. They will protect your unit, your ship, and your co-workers. And they will
ensure we remain the most lethal and ready force in the world.

Get the shot. Stay healthy. Stay ready.

[signed]

Lloyd P. Austin III

In light of current situation, I am wondering how many of our fine Military ladies and gentlemen will see this as their perfect get out of the military card? Joe quit the military, so why shouldn't they quit on him?

From the Pentagon press briefing I saw earlier, there will be no getting out of this one. The press sec did say religious and medical exemption will be allowed, all others will be given several “counseling” sessions to get all dissension in line. If further refusal occurs, UCMJ will be the next step in addressing this issue. It was clearly stated that this is a lawful order.

Retirement. No one near retirement will refuse.
