Military Members are Required to get the Covid Vaccine. Are Medical or Religious Exemptions Granted?
The Defense Department has made it clear for some time that all service members must be fully vaccinated again Covid-19, and this includes all reserve component members. Unless there was an approved exemption, the consequences of non-compliance can be severe, including prosecution under Articles 90 and 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and discharge.
Has there been a process for requesting an exemption on medical or religious grounds? How likely was it that those requests were granted?
Steve and Patty Shewmaker discuss.
You are a Military Service Member that had a Positive Drug Test. What Should You Do?
Military service members are tested twice yearly for drug use. The test is typically a urinalysis and you’ll be screened for marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines and opiates. In some cases you may also be screened for other drugs like barbiturates, LSD, or even steroids. The effect on the service members career can be devastating and include military separation or court martial. What should you do if you come up positive on a test? What if you feel you have been falsely accused? Should you accept the offer of a free trial defense or retain private counsel? Steve and Patty Shewmaker with the Law Firm Shewmaker & Shewmaker answer these questions and many more in this video.
