One more ridiculous fail from the Biden Administration:


https://dailycaller.com/2023/11/21/exclusive-air-force-begs-troops-booted-covid-19-vax-come-back/

QuoteThe U.S. Air Force sent out a letter telling an airman booted from the service over the now-rescinded COVID-19 vaccine mandate of an opportunity to rejoin the service, mirroring similar letters sent to former Army service members, according to a copy of one Air Force letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

A former Air Force service member who was separated for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine received the letter Sunday addressed with the recipient's name, according to a source familiar with the matter. The letter tells former airmen they can request to have their service records amended to show that they received honorable discharges and seek reentry into the service amidst the service's failure to meet recruiting goals.

AFAIK, this is happening across all branches...as they are all coming up way short in recruiting...

No surprise, with kids being taught to hate America, and instead focus on gender, pronouns, and their feelings. Welcome to the beginning of the fall of Rome.

Hell, it's what the left has been pushing....the woke movement in the military was telegraphed, this is result.

Yes.
Think about it. They need more real estate, they're overcrowded as hell. They're too smart to start a war with us, so they're beating us from within. Kids believe anything on social media these days.
With this generation and future generations being turned into pussies, there will definitely be a draft sometime in the future to keep our military numbers high.

Also look at how much land in the U.S. is owned by China. They're buying up anything they can.
Disarm, erase history, etc..
It won't happen in 10-20 years, but if shit doesn't change soon, in 50 years China will take over.

I know it's a crazy, far-out concept but....

A friend of mine was forced out of the Air Force after a solid 16-year career, with several overseas deployments, and the medals to prove it.

He has made it clear that if he receives such a letter he is going to tell them to go pound sand.
They didn't have his back when he needed them, so why would he ever trust them again?

He said the AF has changed so much since he first joined that he can't even recognize it anymore through all of the political correctness and woke bullshit.

To me it's a crying shame that he gave 16 years of his life to a branch of the service only to have them force him out, and it only adds insult to injury now that they are trying to get people to come back who they never should have kicked out to begin with.  :wallbash:

I hope your friend has landed on his feet.
He gave them 16 years and I suspect he did not get an honorable discharge or any portion of his pension
when they gave him the boot.
The Biden Admin has turned military service into a joke.
Many trans people are joining up just to get free trans surgery and they spend their entire enlistment on restricted
duty because of the surgery they are receiving. Meanwhile the men and women who joined to do a job
are carrying an even bigger load because of trans people on near permanent light duty.
Meanwhile the VA hospital system is an underfunded mess.
They keep raising the budget, but none of the $$$ is getting to the men and women who actually earned it and need it.

250-ish SEALs were part of that COVID discharge...nearly ALL with combat experience that can't be trained at ANY price.

To get 250 SEALs, you need roughly 3,000 BUD/s candidates. Each class  size varies between 130 and 200. Do the math. 

You know how many YEARS that shitbird in the Oval Office set back Naval Special Warfare?

Not necessarily.
Since throwing out antivaxxers, going totally woke and doing a full on bug out in Afghanistan
they can't even maintain peacetime recruitment numbers.
I can't imagine what moral is like with all the woke and DEI bullshit.

Even the Marines are down. They ALWAYS hit their numbers. You KNOW it's bad when the Marines aren't hitting their numbers.

The Marines technically hit their number this year.

My SIL is a Marine recruiter.

While they didn't hit the number of recruits they targeted, they reenlisted more active duty than projected, making their number net positive.

As a matter of fact, he did.
He started a small company making beard oils in his garage that is now doing quite well...

https://loxandcompany.com/

His name is Dave and his picture is on the home page of the website.
If any of you bearded lads would like to try his products, they are very good quality, and you would be helping a veteran-owned business.  :thumbsup:  :cheers:

This is my favorite...
