Multiple Coast Guard members nearing the 20-year service mark to receive lifelong benefits are being terminated due to noncompliance with the military's COVID vax mandate.
Technician Second Class Zach Loesch speaks out on facing firing from his Coast Guard position for refusing the COVID vaccine on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.'U.S. Coast Guard members who are nearing 20 years in military service but have not complied with the COVID-19 vaccine mandateare now being terminated just before they gain full access to promised military pension and retirement benefits.
However, Harkins, who had a spotless record and zero negative remarks in any evaluations or reviews for almost two decades, is now ineligible. One active-duty guardsman who received an intent to discharge notice from the USCG after serving for nearly 19 years, told Fox News Digital that he is in limbo waiting to be formally separated, which could happen any day."This is not about readiness as they state, it's about compliance," the guardsman said.
Paula Runyon, who was discharged in November after serving for 15.5 years, told Fox News Digital:"My heart is broken as I loved my job, I truly loved being a storekeeper, and I truly loved serving in the Coast Guard. Unfortunately, because of how I was treated, I will never go back."
