Apparently there is an unusually high level of acceptable risk with this vaccine. I assume the 512th Airlift Wing policy was clearly and unequivocally stated in June. We were told the next time a drilling reservist comes in for a drill period he or she will commence the anthrax vaccination series or continue with the next injection if the series was already begun. I can only assume that the people in the other specialties required to execute the mission of an airlift airplane such as the C-5 are leaving as well. Word travels fast.
Morale is at an all-time low.
People are trigger-shy about coming forward with their symptoms. There is an air of fear and distrust prevalent throughout. That is sad because I like my job. I love my country. I am just a captain and a very small cog in the huge wheel of the military.
