It’s a sign of Biden’s growing weakness that institutions and individuals are gaining the courage to reject his policies.
Even though the American military’s fighting force is made up almost entirely of healthy people under sixty who are not very vulnerable to COVID, and even though the experimental vaccine has proven to be not only useless but often dangerous to young people (especially men), Biden has insisted that everyone in the military must be vaccinated. As a result, people who are opposed to COVID vaccinations for whatever reason have been forced out of serving their nation. That may be changing, though, because a Navy administrative separation board voted 3-0 to retain an officer who refused to get vaccinated.
Just The News has the story:
In a stinging rebuke to the Pentagon, a Navy administrative separation board voted unanimously to retain an officer who refused to comply with the military’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
Navy Lt. Billy Moseley, who has been an officer for 22 years, could have chosen to retire from the military when he was ordered to receive the COVID vaccine. He also could have submitted a Religious Accommodation Request, since he objected to the vaccine for religious reasons.
Risking his retirement, Moseley chose instead to take his case to the administrative separation board after learning “that the Navy and the other services intended to implement a blanket denial policy,” according to a press release from his attorney, R. Davis Younts.

Disregard the Commander in Thief.
Time to mutiny against the POTUS.
“Navy Lt. Billy Moseley, who has been an officer for 22 years…” I know he was probably prior enlisted.
(“Navy Lt. Billy Moseley, who has been an officer for 22 years…” I know he was probably prior enlisted.)
I’ve been trying to find what his enlisted rating was before he became an officer but no luck. I was curious since I spent 26 years in the Nav.
....was thinking the same thing....”back in the day....” we used to call these enlisted-to-commissioned folks “mustangs”.... wonder if that term is still in use or has it been thrown overboard as being sexist...or something....
Also known as a “mustang”. Some of the best officers are prior enlisted who had reached the rank of E-6 or above. Experience and having watched the politics that Academy officers play makes them good at bucking the politics so that the crew can get the job done.
I was a “Mustang.” Over 8 years enlisted & 13 years as an officer. I would hear “Mustang” from WWII and Korean vets. “Prior enlisted” was the term I used.
Mustang is still in use as far as I know. But, I’ve been a retired one since 1990.
My son is a mustang. Wanted to finish his degree enlisted, but Navy changed rules for acquiring/paying for college credit hours: his ship had to be at sea. His ship was in drydock for over 4 years.
After 6 years enlisted and about to make E-7, he left, got degree in Mechanical Engineering on GI Bill, took degree back to Navy: “You guarantee me flight school in writing, and I’ll come back to OCS.”
They did. He’s a Navy helo pilot now deployed, full Lt.
Yes - I’m proud dad. My uncle was a Navy pilot, my dad an O-6 in Reserves.
In my experience the Mustangs will go the extra mile to stand up for the enlisted men/women but also will not take crap from them.
Congrats to your son. Unfortunately I would not recommend the military to anyone in this woke atmosphere.
Agree.
He was a Chief Gunners Mate before commissioning. States this in his bio.
