Can I get my religion recognized.it is slightly important, I just want the proper head stone. *I do not associate with white power/racism. I joined assuming we are all brothers and sisters and will fight to my very core for that belief* thank you

Submit a request when you file your paperwork at inprocessing and see if the Chaplain can assist in supporting your request.

Asatru is a well known and (relatively) common religious expression in the military, particularly within Combat Arms.
Get with your Chaplain and ask about the Distinctive Faith Group Leaders (DFGL), and try to get connected. If you run into a lack of support, search online for one of the national organizations for your religion.
What you should not expect is to have standards or schedules grossly adjusted to accommodate your faith based needs. Thne military might bend for you a little but it will not break to accommodate your faith.
Good luck.

My religion is increasingly becoming the "look" for nazis/white power and racists. Unfortunately
