Air Force Boots 40 Recruits for Refusing the COVID-19 Vaccine – By Patricia Kime (Military.com) / Oct 29 2021
Forty would-be airmen or Guardians have been separated from Air Force and Space Force recruit training after refusing the COVID-19 vaccine.
Recruits can opt to get the vaccine before they arrive for training or will be required to get their series at boot camp.
Air Force officials confirmed this week that 40 basic military and technical trainees have been discharged under entry-level separation characterizations for refusing the vaccine.
Entry-level discharges can be awarded to personnel who have yet to serve 180 days; it usually carries no designation such as a good, bad or other-than-honorable discharge, simply equating to a separation from service with a potential for reenlistment if the individual chooses to get the vaccine.
