Today, our @DoW_USW_PR team is spotlighting Isaiah Luckey, a Security Forces Defender who made the difficult decision to separate from the @USAirForce on May 11, 2022, over the COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
After @POTUS signed EO 14184, Airman 1st Class Luckey contacted @USAFRecruiting to pursue reinstatement. On October 22, 2025, under the leadership of @SecWar and @SecAFOfficial, A1C Luckey returned to service. He was promoted to Senior Airman with backpay and assigned to his base of preference.
“I decided to come back to finish my career, to finish what I started, and to continue to grow as a professional.”
Proud to welcome you back to the fight! We are "luckey" to have you in our ranks again.
