The discharge is going to be under honorable conditions…. I don’t think the average person understands what you have to do to get a Dishonorable Discharge.

Dishonorable Discharge can only be given at at General Court Martial. A BCD can at a General or Special Court Martial. Administrative Discharges which these individuals received can only be categorized as Under other than Honorable conditions (a pattern of misconduct or serious offense would have to be proven) Honorable or General (under honorable conditions) are the most likely discharges for these individuals unless they had other issues to go with refusing the poke.

It is a lawful order to order someone to get the vaccine. I have requirements I must meet every year medically. Vaccines are a part of my requirement. Plus for deployments, have additional requirements that I must meet depending on where I am going. It is what it is… you don’t want the Vaccine get out? That is your choice.

The fact that there will be a GOMAR (more than likely permanently filed) in your record is my objection. And it is still to be determined what the characterization of their discharge will be (again, this is an Army organization). It will probably be a general discharge under honorable conditions.

I am a recently retired colonel (37 years of service) so I know a little bit about what I am talking about.
