Not to my knowledge, and if I did, it's not on records.
I'd be taking the religious route to stay in. Not saying it's possible, but all my coworkers all know I'm the most religious orientated out of the group. My main challenge will be the fact that I'm LDS and the church has released several pro-vax statements.
Even if they accept my religious plea, they still might be able to separate me or deny my reenlistment due to deployability status.
Religious exemptions can be revoked upon "imminent risk of infection of an individual or unit from a communicable diseases for which there exists immunization."
You need to get Covid, get a serological test proving your antibodies, then get a medical exemption.
Medical exemption normally means you can't do something, and not 'you don't have to do something.'
For example, you can get a PT waver if you break your leg, but they won't give you a PT waver for being in excellent shape.
In this case, having covid in the past doesn't mean you can't get the shot. They'll still mandate it because the shot won't harm you (according to their scientific misanthropists).
It is worth noting though that there is an ongoing lawsuit from two members claiming they shouldn't have to get the shot because they've had covid before.
I read the order. You're wrong. You get a serological test proving you have natural immunity from prior exposure and get a medical exemption. If you don't believe me, go look up the fucking order yourself but don't present your opinion of what will happen as fact.

Don't worry about it there's a 99% chance you recovered from it.
