https://nypost.com/2021/01/12/qanon-shaman-jake-angeli-allegedly-axed-from-navy-for-refusing-vaccine/amp/The infamous, bare-chested QAnon shaman who stormed the US Capitol in a horned headdress and star-spangled face paint was reportedly booted from the Navy for refusing to take an anthrax vaccine.
Jake Angeli, 33, who complained that jail staff wont feed him organic food, enlisted in the Navy as a supply clerk in September 2005 before getting assigned to the USS Kitty Hawk the following March, Task and Purpose reported.
After about two years as a serviceman, the Arizona native was discharged when he refused to take the anthrax vaccine in October 2007, the outlet reported, citing a Navy official.
The characterization of Angelis discharge wasnt released because of privacy concerns, the outlet said.
More at link. Well, there we have it. Dishonorable discharge.

(823 posts)so I would not use that until confirmed. There are several other types of discharge that are used but I would guess his was honorable or Administrative.

(6,805 posts)I've known it to be used for illiterate guys who make it in. They usually last for a 2-5 months.

(6,486 posts)He probably got an undesirable or general discharge thru administrative procedures, conceivably an honorable but unlikely.
(My direct knowledge of this stuff is from processing such discharges in the army fifty years ago, so my knowledge may be out of date.)
