The U.S. Navy is discharging all sailors who have refused the COVID vaccine, stripping them of all special pays and education benefits. No religious exemptions have been approved by the Navy, and only six medical exemptions have been accepted. If active-duty sailors did not get their last dose of the vaccine by November 14, the separation process has already begun for them.
A statement from the NAVADMIN read, “In order to ensure a fully vaccinated force, U.S. Navy policy is to process for separation all Navy service members who refuse the lawful order to receive the COVID-19 vaccination and do not have an approved exemption”.
“Navy service members refusing the vaccine who are in a frocked status should be defrocked as soon as feasible,” the NAVADMIN added. Even if sailors have started the vaccination process after the deadline, they could still face the possibility of separation.
Regardless of their time serving in the Navy and their sacrifices, discharged sailors will be unable to obtain career retention bonuses, enlistment bonuses, or incentive payments after being separated. Additionally, they will be unable to take advantage of Navy tuition assistance and/or educational opportunities. These individuals could also lose the veteran benefits they would have otherwise been given after serving.
Although many sailors have sacrificed a lot and dedicated much of their lives to serving their country, it is a true shame that this is the treatment we give them in return for standing up for their freedoms as American citizens… freedoms they were fighting so hard to protect.
The statement from the NAVADMIN also said, “Those who fail to complete a service obligation incurred for participating in Navy funded full-time, part-time, or off-duty education programs … will be required to reimburse the cost of the education received, prorated for the obligated time served”.
In August, Lt. Col. Paul Douglas Hague, a high-ranking US Army officer, sent in a resignation letter in protest of the COVID vaccine mandate, referring to it as a “Marxist takeover of the military”, as well as “unethical, immoral and tyrannical”.

Hague saw what was coming and got out ahead of it. He refused to let the government bully him into compliance and stuck to his beliefs. Instead of giving in, he did what he joined the Army to do in the first place: protect Americans’ liberty and freedom at all cost.
His resignation letter, after 19 years of service in the Army, was Tweeted out by his wife. Here are some of his powerful words:
“First, and foremost, I am incapable of subjecting myself to the unethical, immoral, and tyrannical order to sit still and allow a serum to be injected into my flesh against my will and better judgment. It is impossible for this so-called ‘vaccine’ to have been studied adequately to determine the long-term effects… I cannot and will not contribute. to the fall of this great nation and its people – those very Americans whom I swore to protect the liberty of at all cost. The values that our nation was founded on, has lived by, and thrived under, have been utterly decimated by the current presidential administration and the leadership of the military… We are watching the fall of liberty at this moment.”

For those members who joined the Navy to protect Americans from tyranny and uphold our Constitutional rights, we salute you for holding true to your promise and your beliefs.
