Marines who go maskless on military installations must be prepared to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination at any time \u2015 while those found to have lied about their vaccination status<\/a> for whatever reason may face discipline, according to a recently released Marine Corps message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cService members and civilian employees who misrepresent their vaccination status may be subject to appropriate adverse administrative or punitive actions,\u201d the MARADMIN<\/a>, released Friday, reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MARADMIN provides clarification to the Department of Defense mask policy released in early May, which allows service members who are fully vaccinated to ditch the mask in almost every circumstance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marines who are not fully vaccinated must wear their mask \u201ccontinuously\u201d on military installations unless they are alone, eating, drinking, when the mask is required to be lowered for identification, when it is necessary to accommodate a disability or while conducting physical training.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
