Disability Benefits

Disability Benefits

Active Military

Active Military

Active Military

  1. Reinstate service members to active duty who were separated for not getting COVID-19 vaccines.


  2. Reverse a policy that lets DOD cover travel costs for troops seeking reproductive care, including contraception and abortion services.


  3. Suspend the use of Military Health System Genesis, where military applicants are medically examined before they sign up.

    1. This means that people who enlist no longer need to get medical and mental health exams to enter the military.


  4. Require the completion of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, the military entrance exam, by all students in schools that receive federal funding. 

    1. This means all public school students will have to complete the military entrance exam, at the very least.

  5. Increase the Army by 50,000 troops.

  6. Improve base housing and military family consideration with change-of-station moves.
