I'm still serving in the Navy Reserve under an religious accommodation appeal that's been "pending" at the Chief of Naval Operations since January. My initial request was denied, and they don't tell you about your right to appeal, but it's there.

I'm Army, I submitted an exemption in December of 21, January, February, March, April, and still going and getting paid for now. Nobody knows what to do with us.

I love to hear this! I know it’s not easy (it certainly wasn’t at the start of this mess), but it makes me happy and proud to hear of folks like you who haven’t succumbed to the pressure. 👊🏻

The stress has been immense, but I remind myself I follow in the foot steps of braver men.

I’m getting into the end phase of my career. Someone has to take care of the guys that follow Behind us
