West Point Reinstates Travel Restrictions for Unvaccinated?

[EvansinAZ]

Can anyone verify this story that West Point has reinstated restrictions that prohibit cadets from traveling if they have not received a COVID vaccine? The story cites an official saying:

"The U.S. Military Academy at West Point continues to follow Department of Defense's guidance regarding unvaccinated service members. U.S. Army policy states unvaccinated service members are not eligible for official travel without prior approval from the Under Secretary of the Army. Until the policy is rescinded, West Point will continue to follow it."

Reversal comes as Congress considers bill seeking redress for military's discharged vaccine refuseniks.

Not West Point, DOD. The policy was never rescinded.
“U.S. Army policy states unvaccinated service members are not eligible for official travel without prior approval from the Under Secretary of the Army.”

Yet military leaders still wonder why recruitment and retention are tanking...

Two things:

1. It appears West Point is sticking to whatever the official DOD/Army policy is until told otherwise.
2. JustTheNews (like most every other "news" source out there) is not a legitimate news source (my opinion).
