Returning Troops Who Were Fired for Refusing COVID Shot to Receive “White Glove” Treatment
At present, however, only a tiny fraction of those were dismissed have returned.

Former military personnel who lost their jobs for refusing to take a Covid-19 vaccine will receive special “white glove” VIP treatment if they return to their jobs.
The Pentagon announced the special measures on Thursday, following criticism on social media about how returning military personnel have been treated at intake facilities.
A memo signed by Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Anthony Tata instructed military leaders to make changes at Military Entrance Processing Stations, where recruits undergo medical screenings, aptitude tests and other final checks before being brought into military service.
“As these efforts continue, the Military Departments are directed to prioritize special-category VIP treatment for affected former service members,” Tata wrote.
That special treatment includes accepting late arrival, priority processing, and a “trained escort to expedite screening,” the memo states.
Intake processes at military facilities are notoriously long-winded.
Chief Pentagon Spokesperson Sean Parnell said in a statement the changes to intake procedures would accompany a review of the Pentagon’s Covid-19 vaccine policy that would examine “what occurred, why, and what the Department will do to ensure that it never happens again.”
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has made a priority of reinstating personnel kicked out over the military’s vaccine mandate.

By May, just 13 out of 8,000 personnel removed from service had returned.
The Pentagon began mandating vaccination against Covid-19 in 2021. The mandate was retracted in 2023, after Congress required its removal.

The numbers will speak louder than the rhetoric. 13 of 8000 thus far, and I doubt that will change much without major changes. Ask yourself, “why”? Let me answer that question for you: More shadow policy. More of the same Covid-era shadow policy. Such policy exists because decades of long-term, embedded bureaucrats have written and applied policies and regulations that are not in line with (and often directly oppose) actual law. Case in point: applying Title 5 USC Federal Civilian Employee pay laws to Title 37 USC uniformed service member pay laws for the purpose of negating backpay. It turns out, President Trump’s promos of full backpay is being subverted. The September 2025 emergency Supreme Court decision on Trump vs Slaughter may be the first step in undoing the bureaucratic cabal. I am hopeful and expectant of the December 2025 hearing. Please pray that SCOTUS rules in a manner that stops unlawful policymakers in their tracks, and allows the Executive Branch to clean house! Then maybe our troops will receive the “full backpay” promised, and we can start rebuilding trust with the Department of War (leading to more service member reinstated and adding new recruits).
I don't know what motivated REN to cover this. The "VIP treatment" development is not particularly helpful because there are more expeditious ways to return troops to service that were recommended in the 3SEP25 listening session. There currently seems to be support for ongoing efforts to improve the process, which is good because it still requires much improvement. So far I'm only tracking 2 individuals brought back onto active duty, one of which hasn't been paid. Like I said efforts continue and there are reasons to be hopeful, but the "VIP treatment" outlined in the updated policy guidance is not one of them IMO.
