The Coast Guard Academy is disenrolling seven cadets for failing to comply with the military’s COVID-19 vaccination mandate, after their requests for religious exemptions were denied and they were ordered to leave campus.
The academy in New London, Connecticut, confirmed the disenrollments Tuesday, The Day newspaper reported. A lawyer for several of the cadets said they were told on Aug. 18 that they had to leave campus by 4 p.m. the next day.
"They were escorted to the gate like they were criminals or something," the lawyer, Michael Rose, told the newspaper.
The cadets’ names have not been released. Rose said academy officials were "particularly mean-spirited" and could have waited until pending lawsuits challenging the military’s COVID-19 vaccination requirement were concluded.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin last year made the COVID-19 vaccinations mandatory for service members, including those at the military academies, saying the vaccine is critical to maintaining military readiness and the health of the force.
A Coast Guard Academy spokesman, David Santos, said the seven cadets there were found to be in violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice for disobeying a superior officer and failing to obey an order or regulation. The cadets requested religious exemptions that were denied by school officials, he said.

What happens to the US military when all conservatives and independent thinkers all stop signing up?
My guess is the libs of the DoD will start recruiting MS-13 members.
I haven’t seen a recruiting update in what seems like over a month. I wonder how the ‘no Christians need apply’ recruiting is going.
Yep, they’ll do what thugocrats always do, recruit criminals and thugs to be the enforcers of their policies.
An employee of mine served as a Navy Medic on some of the ships. He said you didn’t go to certain areas of the ship because they were controlled by gangs.
That is a badge of honor at this point. To be escorted off due to not taking an EUA lab rat injection takes more courage than anything.
why sign up?
USCG is DHS, not DoD.
Agreed. I’d rather have my life than be a bitch to Austin’s new fag army.
This is pure insanity. Everyone knows the vax does not work against the virus but Communism is absolutely inflexible.
I’m probably one of thousands of veterans who are actively dissuading young men and women from entering the military...and my 8 years active were freaking awesome!
Tubby has gotten the Rona twice since giving that directive... you think he'd wise up by now
That is part of the plan. So when the order to shoot American civilians is given, they will obey.
It is a sign of leadership. These cadets can walk away knowing they passed the test by refusing to obey an unlawful order.
"Only following orders" didn't work at Nuremberg I and won't work at Nuremberg II.
Biden’s purge. He thinks the unvaccinated are Christians or Republicans and wants them out of the military.
“I’d rather have my life than be a bitch to Austin’s new fag army.”
Wonder what the health statistics are like in the vaccinated Coast Guard Academy and their graduates compared with the general population in that age group.
One good question is, if the vax is so necessary, how are the ones being kicked off even alive?
Everything under Obama and Biden is geared to making us vulnerable for take-over
I served nearly 36 years in the Air National Guard. Brought a lot of other folks on board, who had great careers too. No more. As you said, I actively discourage any who ask. I never thought it would get to this point. I sucked it up through Clinton and Obama (THE worst!) I really feel for those I left behind when I retired.
Correct. They’re filtering for those who will obey the regime rather than their oath to uphold the constitution.
