| National Guard members could lose pay if they don't get COVID-19 vaccine |
| 2021-12-01 |
| [2News Oklahoma] Members of the National Guard are at risk of losing pay if they fail to get vaccinated against COVID-19. In a memo obtained by NBC News, unvaccinated members of the National Guard will not be able to participate in drills in training. Non-participation would also result in a loss of credit for time served, NBC News reported. The memo was in response to the governor of Oklahoma, who reportedly said the National Guard cannot force members to get the vaccine. Military.com reports that that about 40% of the state's Army Guardsmen are vaccinated and 89% of its Air National Guard members are in compliance with the vaccine mandate. The Army Guardsmen have until June 2022 to become compliant. The Air Force National Guard has a much sooner deadline. Members must show proof of vaccination by Thursday. |

| #4 DoD is the Deep State's petri dish. If they cannot enforce compliance here, it will be difficult to enforce among the general public. |

| #3 ...USAF also announced yesterday that if you aren't vaccinated, you won't be allowed to transfer from one base to another or be promoted. On the one hand, that will pretty much guarantee 100% compliance at places like Minot and Grand Forks. On the other hand, this will disrupt promotions and manning for years to come, even if they get 99.9% compliance tomorrow. In the late 90s, USAF tried to force all E5(SSgt) coming back from overseas tours during a certain time frame to become recruiters, probably the most destructive and corrosive career field in the service. They were told if they didn't want to job, they could get out, and Air Force sat back expecting just about 100% compliance. USAF has never revealed the exact number of people who refused an offer that they couldn't, but I have been reliably told it was north of 70% - and the months it took to sort things out (no one actually got thrown out but a bunch of critical mid-level supervisors and technicians were in limbo for about 6 months)caused a couple years of confusion. This mess will be far, far worse. Mike |

| #2 Why can’t states that “opt out” from federal mandates stop sending money to the federal coffers. Pick a single issue and sequester the money in an account pending the results of the inevitable lawsuit |

| #1 Notice the government's subtle move away from UCMJ and legal options to financial penalties for non-compliance ? |
