Fox News via MSNBC ^ | 11/21/23

The U.S. Army sent a letter to former service members dismissed for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine, informing them they can request corrections of their discharge records, as the military branch reportedly struggles with recruitment three years after the onset of the pandemic. 

 

The letter, which gained traction on social media, was addressed to former service members and notified of "new Army guidance regarding the correction of military records for former members of the Army following the rescission of the COVID-19 vaccination requirement." 

It states, "as a result of the rescission of all current COVID-19 vaccination requirements, former Soldiers who were involuntarily separated for refusal to receive the COVID-19 vaccination may request a correction of their military records from either or both the Army Discharge Review Board (ADRB) or the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR)." 

The letter, signed by Brigadier General Hope C. Rampy, of the U.S. Army Director of the Military Personnel Management Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, goes on to link to three forms where "individuals can request a correction to military personnel records, including regarding the characterization of discharge." 

"Individuals who desire to apply to return to service should contact their local Army, US Army Reserve (USAR) or Army National Guard (ARNG) recruiter for more information," it concludes.

An Army spokesperson on Sunday confirmed the authenticity of the letter to Fox News Digital. 

 

The spokesperson said the letter, dated November 1, does not explicitly ask former Army members dismissed for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine to return to service.

How about permanently erasing the infraction, paying treble back pay, and one rank promotion?

This is a big deal. Most of these COVID separations were other-than-honorable (OTH) discharges and now soldiers have the opportunity to get honorable discharges, which will allow a whole array of benefits and education opportunities.

If Trump is elected, a 4-year enlistment may be advisable, but I cannot recommend the military as a career. The institution is too corrupted at the top and mid-level. Age 20s and 30s are the best and most productive years of your life. Do something else.

At the very least.

I imagine they’re getting back a lot of letters featuring pictures of the one-finger salute. As well they should.

Hard to find words for the crimes against humanity inflictedof late. The Army has domestic enemies, some, if not many of whom, hold public office, CDC included.

What an insult to ask these former soldiers to submit paperwork.

You messed over these folks, DoD; YOU fix it and let people know. With letters of apology.

Man, the jerkiness never ends with Austin, Milley, Biden, and the entire clown car.

Achilles shrugged. These military members know the administrative staff do not have their backs.

You are a mind reader.

I was thinking double back pay, two ranks promotion and duty station of choice.

Call it two plus two - Duty Station for you.

Then they can start making offers on retirement.

“duty station of choice.”

Great idea. That would avoid retribution by sending them to the Aleutians or Fairbanks.

They don’t feel that bad about what they did to these soldiers.

Yep, they could just take care of it. They know exactly who they screwed over.

Give them back pay or stick it where the sun don’t shine. What’s another billion in taxpayer dollars?

I would demand back pay with interest and penalties, same as the IRS would calculate, plus, (1) I never pay income taxes again, and (2) the NFA never applies to me nor to any direct descendant of mine.

Does the letter have a short message printed on outside the envelope like “Hi! We MISSED YOU!!”
