I have a couple in demand non flying qualifications and a fairly uncommon language that is spoken in a newer NATO country that borders Russia.

They reached out to me when the all is forgiven stuff came out because they needed someone who spoke the language and understood some systems and the engineering behind them.

I told them to get bent. I wasn't polite.

I was threatened with a GCM and no retirement eligibility over being a "vax refuser" when my waiver was signed and properly filed by my Flight Surgeon with inputs from my Cardiologist, Hematologist and Oncologist. Denied by a non medical idiot at NOSC Norfolk.

"But we can probably get you promoted to Commander"

Yeah. F off.
