The Marine Corps has now separated more than 1,000 Marines due to refusal to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
The Marine Corps separated 165 Marines over the past week due to their refusal to get vaccinated against COVID-19. At 1,038, the Marine Corps leads the military branches for the most separations.
The Navy comes in second with a total of 469 separations, which includes 50 this past week. Of the separations this week, 24 had served for more than six years, while 26 served for less than six years. The highest rank was chief petty officer, said Lt. Travis Callaghan, spokesperson for chief of naval personnel, in an email.
The Air Force has separated 205 active-duty airmen, according to its weekly update. The Army has not yet separated a soldier.
The Navy, as well as the other branches, potentially could have more sailors that it would separate for refusal to get vaccinated against COVID-19, but there are currently lawsuits preventing punitive action against a handful of service members who have refused to get vaccinated due to religious objections.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I'm against forced vaccination however, if I were on active duty I would do it anyways. I signed for four years and I would live up to that regardless. Orders are orders and when you take the oath you agree to obey them including the ones you don't agree with.
