Navy Boots First Batch of COVID-19 Vaccine Refusers

[Sherman A1]

The U.S. Navy has discharged a first group of 20 sailors who refused to get vaccinated against COVID-19, the service announced Wednesday.

The 20 were all discharged as "Entry Level Separations," meaning that they had recently enlisted and were booted within 180 days of beginning service. These separations mark the start of the promised consequences for active-duty sailors who refused to get fully vaccinated by the Navy's deadline of Nov. 28.

Officials previously have told reporters that they anticipate most sailors who are leaving the service will separate by June 1.

4. When I served

I couldn’t imagine this could even be a thing. It was just a trade off you did when you signed to do volunteer military.

However my VA loan, and VA medical benefits have helped me along the way.

These 20 entry level separations are idiots.
