I saw a credible post online from someone who would know where 5,000 Air Force service religious exemptions were received and zero were approved. Religious exemptions should be almost all accepted. If they don’t want to accommodate, that’s another issue. If you are denied, immediately file an EEOC complaint and contact Liberty Counsel. Save all correspondence. They gave us three business days to complete ours, as well as three days to complete medical. I sent our leadership an email on behalf of all of us, stating three days is not enough time to schedule a medical appointment, let alone get doc to review and send back, then retain counsel, get them to review. They didn’t care, they said three days. More evidence to use against them.
That doesn’t surprise me, and sounds right in line with what everyone else is seeing/hearing. I’ve already been in contact with Liberty Counsel and First Liberty. They say once it’s been denied, then they can step in. We’ll see what happens. Thanks for the post.
