I was civilian employee at a Navy HQ Command. I put in a religious exemption. It is very obvious at work that I am Catholic and I worked there long enough for them to know I am a faithful Catholic. My religious exemption was never approved but it also was not denied either. They would not make a decision on it. I was told to keep my head down and let it blow over. Our Commander for the TYCOM ordered the Chaplain to call every single person who put in a religious exemption to talk them out if it. We have appr 20,000 people under this TYCOM and only 39 people put in for it. I was harassed and I know the military personnel were even more than me. I dropped retirement papers because I could work for an organization who I didn’t respect any more.
