DECLARATION OF AIR FORCE SPECIAL AGENT

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, I, Air Force Special Agent, under penalty of perjury declare
as follows:
1.
I am over the age of eighteen and am competent to make this declaration.
2.
My request for religious accommodation as to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate was
subject to the Air Force’s religious accommodation process. In denying my request, I believe the
Air Force failed to make an individualized “to the person” assessment of my accommodation
request. I’m personally aware of many other religious objectors who believe they experienced the
same.
3.
I’m not aware of the Air Force changing what I believe was and is its practice of
failing to make an individualized “to the person” assessment of an accommodation request.

4.
Under these circumstances, I was and am hesitant to submit any other religious
accommodation requests and to be subject to the Air Force’s religious accommodation process
again.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on August
16, 2024.
