Good for the sailors that its an admin discharge. Horrible for readiness. Short sighted stupidity on “leaders.”

Okay, so Honorable Conditions. Good. Do they really want to process out 1/3 of service members?!

The loss of education benefits under the Post-911 GI Bill sucks.

I had not been aware of that. This is supposed to be an Honorable discharge. Do they really lose benefits? Yes that sucks if true.

1/3? The Navy is over 94% fully vaccinated. They will discharge less than 2% of the active duty force. Probably less than 1%.

LOL!
Hardly any will get your joke, but I laughed.

Like the old joke about the Italian sailors who shipwrecked near Mexico:

Quinque en la mare!!!

Sí chinga tú madre también!

Today’s military is so F’ed up.

Wouldn’t give my kid permission to join at 16 like my parents did to me. I was a DEP kid.

This is like a good bye kiss from an old maid aunt, wishing you luck in the real world when you left your home.

It’s not an Honorable Discharge. It is a General Discharge under Honorable Conditions, which is a lower level of discharge.

Yes, a General under Honorable disqualifies you from GI Bill education benefits. Seeing that the Post 911 benefit is a full ride with a stipend for living expenses (transferable to dependents), that’s a pretty big hit.

They served for 10 months while there was no vaccine. There was no disaster. Suddenly they are in violation and kicked out? This is not about a virus. Never was. It’s to identify dissenters and cut them down.

Every time a lib comes into office they downsize the military at the expense of readiness. My thought is they just found an excuse for it under another name this time. But I have no doubt they are happy to run down our forces.
