Airman makes video asking where vets discharged for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine can find work

I thought, "that airman can't even be out of high school." That airman is female.

Airman makes video asking where vets discharged for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine can find work

"We have no idea what to plan for."

BY DAVID ROZA , JEFF SCHOGOL | UPDATED SEP 27, 2021 1:24 PM



A senior airman asked TikTok viewers on Sept. 16 for help finding jobs for service members who decline the mandatory COVID-19 vaccine. (TikTok / freedomofchoice).

In a recent viral video, a senior airman in the Air Force asks viewers to help find jobs for service members leaving the military because they refuse to take the mandatory COVID-19 vaccine.

The unidentified senior airman, who posted her video on TikTok on Sept. 16, speculated that “a lot of the military is about to take an administrative discharge” for refusing the vaccine, which means they’ll be out of a job and presumably in need of work.

“Some people are doing it for medical reasons, some people are doing it for personal reasons, beliefs, whatever it may be, it’s about to suck,” the airman said. “What I’m looking for right now is if you’re an employer or you know employers that will undoubtedly employ us, a lot of us are looking at discharge and we weren’t expecting this so we have no idea what to plan for and I’m sure a lot of people are trying to plan for their future right now.”

Looking for a job does. You can expect no meals, no boarding, no healthcare and $7.25 an hour.

Good luck avoiding Covid, by the way if you get sick and can't come to work...no money.

Minimum wage jobs at small businesses (under the vaccine mandate numbers). Embrace the suck…. Your choice.
