The Division of Protection (DoD) just lately up to date its steerage on the method to reinstate service members who left the navy due to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Although some service members are returning to the navy, it will be untimely to name this a win because the coverage doesn’t do sufficient justice to service members who’ve been harmed and doesn’t deal with many considerations raised by advocates of this subject.
To place the latest coverage into perspective, let’s first think about the severance bundle supplied to transgender sailors who voluntarily go away the service. In March, the Navy introduced that because of the new DoD coverage that prohibits transgender troops from serving, transgender sailors who voluntarily separate will obtain two full years’ price of separation pay.
Let’s evaluate this to the coverage supplied to service members separated for the vaccine mandate.
The latest memo by the DoD’s Personnel and Readiness workplace on reinstating unvaccinated service members differentiates between the over 8,700 who have been kicked out or who “involuntarily separated” and the tens of 1000’s who selected to go away due to the mandate or who “voluntarily separated.” The time period “voluntarily separated” will appear Orwellian for these similar to myself who misplaced out on profession alternatives, suffered persecution, and left as a result of the choice was being kicked out.
