I'll try to keep it brief but it's been a hell of a journey. In August 2021, my husband decided he was done being a lab rat for the Navy and big Pharma. He submitted the religious accomodation for any and ALL future vaccines. Immediately the segregation and discrimination began. Being made to test when others didn't, having to sit in hotels to "quarantine" when the vaccinated guys/guys didn't, made to mask when others were not, etc. We knew when he submitted the paperwork that it would ultimately end in separation. As lawsuits began to come out, he wanted nothing to do with them. His brother had offered him a job at his company at the same time he submitted his religious accomodation. He just wanted to be separated as quickly as possible to move on with our lives. When the lawsuit put a halt on separations, he followed the guidance that would withdraw his accommodation to continue separation. He waived the administrative separation board in exchange for an honorable separation. Everything seemed to be moving along, he was not deploying with his command and was temporarily sent elsewhere. In April 2022 he completed TAPS. In July 2022 he was asked to submit his separation evaluation and he did. On September 1st he received a ten day letter which typically means he has roughly ten days left of service. It also allows him to complete medical screening. I closed my small business in anticipation for us starting our new life. And then crickets... His command stopped communicating with him. He didn't hear from his command again until January 3rd where his chief informed my husband that my husband had made chief and no one told him. Chief results came out in July, 6 months prior! My husband didn't believe it because his name wasn't on the official list but eventually, on March 7, 2023, it was confirmed he HAD made chief from the captain of the ship himself. This information was withheld from him for no reason other than what we assume were his medical and religious choices. On March 7th as well he was told he needed to sit with legal and medical and sign paperwork to refuse the flu vaccine. Little did his command know we had put together a timeline full of receipts showing that the command had already acknowledged his refusal for ALL vaccines back in 2021. He laid everything out for them on how he wasn't signing anymore documents refusing this or that. The command dropped the ball for two years and my husband had had enough. He went from being the head of every department on the ship, being sailor of the quarter (and ultimately robbed of sailor of the year because he wasn't deployed with them), to having amazing evaluations to being a nobody. He told the captain he wanted to continue the process of separation as he had no trust in anyone in that command any longer. They immediately began processing his separation and backdating everything to September when he SHOULD have been out. As of today, he is a civilian. 13 years of service, 6 deployments totalling 3 years gone, an earned rank of chief that was never told to him, so much sacrifice on the part of myself and our children, etc. There's so so much more to the story but that's the main part of it. It's been a long and emotional battle but we can finally say that part of our lives is behind us now. His new job will take him away from home a bit as well but we homeschool and are looking forward to going with him from time to time and learning about other states and their histories. It's scary right now because so much is unknown and he was the primary income, but I know in my heart it'll be okay and it'll all work out. He did what was right and it'll pay off. It already has in that his health is intact. Today he told me, "I don't feel sad. I feel betrayed."

Hope things go well in the future. It is a disgrace what our government, country, and military have become.
Thank you! It's been very eye opening how many people bent the knee so easily. It's shameful.
People are generally pathetic. People like you and your husband, and most of us here are rare.
Sending prayers your way and God bless your new business venture.
This random internet person is proud of him, too. Glad he is finally out of there.
Random internet person 99427 please refrain from excess compliments!
It's the military. When they signed up, I'm sure they signed lots of paperwork allowing the military to dose them with all the "experimental" vaccines that the brass arbitrarily decide is necessary to keep them in a fighting condition in whatever environment they might be in.
Now OP's husband is mad about his own decisions. Sorry, but that's life.
Thank you for your REAL service to this country, unlike the government fake Americans in the majority of that government jobs program known as the military now.
Good for him, congratulations to you both. Obviously insane that it happened to begin with, but that's clown world for you.
Stuck to your convictions and held strong. Deeply appreciate your husband's decisions and wish/hope there are many more like him.
Look at the Australian urban military training drills they've been conducting in residential neighborhoods recently, or the quarantine camps being built in Canada. Our governments are prepping themselves for a hostile takeover of our societies, and our military is no different. They don't want American soldiers, they want commie goon squads that will follow orders without question because they plan on turning them against us.
Nice story, glad He stood up for his convictions.
Also, paragraphs help.
I'm sorry, it's been quite a day and I was typing on my phone rather than on the computer.
No worries! I loved the story, but caught myself skipping a line occasionally and having to back track.
EDITED format of OP's text to make it easier for people to read:
Appreciate you!
I was betrayed in 2008 by the Marine Corps, i wasn't alone, he isn't alone. This is the nature of the beast.
Welcome to the club.
Wow, how tragic. Good thing he'll be alright.
Your reward is your good man will live a long life in great health. All the rest is nothing.
I'm really happy to read this. My son joined the Marines in 2020, confident Trump would win re-election, which HE DID! When the steal happened, I was so distraught that I went to J6. I didn't know what else to do. In August of 2021, his superiors asked him point blank if he would take the vaccine. He said NO SIR. Didn't ask for an exemption, just told them NO. They immediately began the retaliation and discrimination. He was given two NJP's for little insignificant nothings. He spent the next six months like you described. Masked, isolated, left behind when trainings occurred, ridiculed, mocked. He was separated with an OTH discharge. Ridiculous. He got home a week or so before Russia went into Ukraine. I was so relieved to have him home safe away from that piece of shit potatus. Not enough of our soldiers said no, almost all of them bent the knee. My son hadn't been in long so he didn't have much to lose, unlike your husband. Respect to you both for standing your ground. My son also felt betrayed.
OTH discharge? Damn. After all the info that has come out, it would be worth a try to talk to the VA guys about upgrading the discharge. They have advisors specifically for that kind of thing.
He intends to do that at some point. Thank you for that :)
I got out after twelve years, in 2013. They make it out as if, you'll never make it without the military. It's bullshit. You all will be fine. Now I work a remote job and ride my motorcycle around the U.S. and Mexico. Just work hard and keep your mind open to opportunities. Civilian life is not the rocket science they try and make it out to be.
That's the great part! He joined at 28 and spent many years proudly telling people how he has quit better jobs than this one.
To be fair in some countries that warning is close to spot on. If you're a working man in Oz and don't have a good network by the time you discharge it is incredibly difficult to find a good, stable job. (This is due to a well earned stigma sadly)
Officer's tend to have some better luck but usually only lieutenant and above. Most companies are wary of hiring staff who may well be physically/mentally damaged / drug addled.
I'm glad you have landed on your feet, it does the heart good.
Thanks for sharing. Glad to hear he stood strong and it'll be more difficult for globohomo to kill him in one of their wars.
Good luck to you both!
Ladypede, you, your husband, and your family are better off. The military is no place for patriotic Americans under this corrupt, illegitimate regime.
Wishing you all the best.
Pureblood Pride is worth it. Congrats to your healthy husband.
God Bless you & your family! Thank you for standing strong in the face of one of the most evil, worldwide psyops I've ever witnessed. Your husband was betrayed.
If you're young enough, have some more babies, we'll need them. (~_^)
We have three but want another!
DO IT! (~_^)
Great work. Nothing is worth illness and death that can be totally avoided with the application of a tiny bit of common sense.
You tell him on the patriots.com's behalf that he's not a "nobody". There are millions of us that love our country but are ashamed of our government. You guys keep your heads up high and keep fighting the good fight. God bless you and God bless America 🇺🇸
We are no longer a good nation.
Good luck and God bless
Tell him I said thank you for his service, and thank you for being a man of principle.
It has to external forces doing this to the us. To break the morale and weaken us. There should be a complete review of the US government.
Never forget that the military spent a LOT of money training him and those skills don't just evaporate when you leave the military.
Anecdote: When I was 20 years old, I was in the Canadian Forces along with some friends. We all had 'part time' jobs in addition to being reservists. We all volunteered to go to Afghanistan on Op Archer in 2006.
One of my friends' civilian employers told him that if he left to serve in Afghanistan he wouldn't have a job when he got back. My friend told this to his commanding officer, who proceeded to write a very awesome letter to the civilian employer...
the letter informed him that the government had spent approximately 360k over the years training my friend and that the civilian employer is/would be somehow liable for those training expenses. It's been over a decade and I don't recall Exactly what the letter said but it was something along the lines of "you've been using our property without paying for it", referring to my buddy.
In the end, my friend went to Afghanistan and the civilian employer was obliged to offer him unconditional employment in his position as soon as he returned. Of course my friend didn't continue working there once he got back (found his gf turned wife while overseas, made a bunch of money and bought a house in another province when he got back).. but it was eye opening about how much the military invests in your training.
I think it's like 30+k per person to be sent on a Basic course.
You guys have a lot of integrity.
Thank you for standing up for what's right, and with an attitude like that, I have no doubt that you guys will succeed in whatever you choose to do in the future.
I wish you all the best.
I promise, you will never regret the decision. What is your husband's health worth? What is his honor worth? When the entire world tells him to do wrong, and threatens to take everything away if he doesn't... he does right and walks away.
God bless you and your family. My dad was in the Army and he exited after 13 years because he could no longer stand the bullshit and this back in the early nineties. I fear the military is totally lost which doesn’t bode well for the rest of us.
just tell him a Marine said THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
Feeling betrayed is right. Good on y’all for taking a stand!
We need men like him on our side! The military doesn’t deserve fine men.
You did what you had to do. It's sad that it has to come to that, and perhaps worse in the future. Either way, good on you for upholding your right to self preservation.
Do you think that by dragging the chain they hoped he would change his mind and stay on?
He wonders about that. Especially with dangling the fact he made chief in front of him. But there's no getting back his career. They sabotaged it beyond repair.
Their loss then.
