It’s not about vaccination..it’s about following orders.. I had a Brazilian Kazilian shots from Navy Medical and the only choice that I had was to pick an arm..
It’s an order, not an option ..
I agree, it's stupid to throw away a career, and risk death at the same time over being scared of a needle...:shock:...BenQuote:

I had to make the same choice with covid vaccination. Get the shot or lose my EMT Lic and job. 90% of the Fire Fighters Paramedics and EMTs CNA's and Nurses got the shot. The rest became unemployed. We were not allowed to endanger our fellow workers or the general public. I got the shot, not that I needed club over my head to do so.
I despise getting shots and blood draws. But, because of the meds I'm on, my doctor requires them. Yeah, I could switch docs but she's right when it comes to health issues. I owe it to Wifey to stay healthy.
Personally, I think we're losing some good people, like the guy in question, due to what's a major health issue in our country. I've been in the military and went through the Police Academy twice (an upgrade to Peace Officer). I didn't agree with everything I was ordered to so - but did so for the organization.
During the Olympics, I had two outstanding staff, a husband and wife team, who refused to dress appropriately. They faced disciplinary action but chose to quit their jobs rather than comply. They made their choice and I could not get them to reconsider.
Being a Coast Guard member is an official military position. It's unfortunate they must follow rules/policies they don/t agree with, but it happens. He does sound like one heck of a guy and I wish him well. He'll probably succeed in his new vocation.
