I'm curious because I know back in 2014, the Air Force changed the policy to allow the above statement to be omitted from the Oath. If a non-religious SM or non-christian SM wants to enlist or reenlist, but doesn't want to say that part, is this allowed? PFC (Join to see) SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL SFC James J.

Nope! All about persona choice.
A good reenlistmemt officer will take a few seconds to chat about it before the ceremony.

Indeed. And if nothing was said, I brought it up prior to the ceremony (rehearsal, etc).

No shame taken if that was the case 1SG (Join to see)! A the end of the day, we’re all humans; right?
