Army sends letter to troops dismissed for refusing COVID vaccine amid military's recruitment woes

U.S. Army notifies former soldiers separated for refusing COVID-19 vaccine they can request corrections of their discharge records

The U.S. Army sent a letter to former service members dismissed for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine, informing them they can request corrections of their discharge records, as the military branch reportedly struggles with recruitment three years after the onset of the pandemic. 

The letter, which gained traction on social media, was addressed to former service members and notified of "new Army guidance regarding the correction of military records for former members of the Army following the rescission of the COVID-19 vaccination requirement."

You know trouble is right around the corner when your best friend tells you to hold his beer!!

They could change it from dishonorable/other than honorable to honorable discharge and that would be good enough for me. I wouldn't go back though. Nope.

If their recruiting numbers weren't so low they wouldn't even consider this and everyone affected should consider this.

Exactly. Uncle Sam is now on an [BLEEP] kissing campaign because they have no choice. Double my salary is what I would tell them. Then I'll come back.

I wouldn't even come back for that unless I was desperate. I wouldn't want to be the soldier known as "the one who wouldn't comply". In a culture that is bent on discipline and uniformity being a rebel isn't welcome. At least it wasn't in my time.

Unless they were giving back-pay, accruing service for time missed, implementing automatic promotions, and ensuring it never happened again or they fully provide all retirement benefits and make up any salary differences as if you weren't being discharged, then I don't see anyone joining.

Here's the thing about this, they still haven't changed anything and aren't admitting they did anything wrong. Basically nothing has changed but 1 key point. I don't think the president can force someone with a dishonorable discharge into active duty.

So unless you were close to 20 years or planned on it, need the benefits to survive, or want to go back, then it may not make sense to change anything.
