For details, see Processing Your CO Claim . Your new assignment won't mean you can't be sent out on a combat ship or to a war zone. This can make waiting for a decision on your claim very difficult. During your CO processing, you may decide that you can no longer cooperate with the military. Noncooperation, sometimes called resistance, takes many forms.
Some people refuse to work, obey orders, or wear their uniforms.
People resist for many reasons. Some want to cooperate with the CO process but find that they can't compromise as much as they had thought. Others become so frustrated with delays in processing that they feel they must resist. Some cooperate through the entire process but are turned down and then find they can't go along. Some even refuse to apply for CO discharge.
