Many have applied for a religious exemption. Based on recent reports many of these requests have not been ruled on, yet soldiers and sailors are being discharged.

Yes. But ONLY after any medical or religious exemptions have been reviewed - on ap case by case basis - and denied for legitimate reasons ( beyond "I disagree with your beliefs" or "I disagree with your doctor").
If a servicemembers has not submitted an exemption, bye Felicia. If they have submited one, carry on. Continue to train, promote, etc. until the exemption is ruled upon. If approved, carry on. If denied, allow an adequate time for separation (90 days sounds right) or appeal (15 days to decide whether to appeal). If appealed, begin separation process, but do not discharge until appeal is ruled upon. If exemption approved on appeal, stop separation, resume training. If denied, separate in 30 days or original 90, whichever is longer.
At least that's how *I* would do it.

actually title 10 allows the members who are on appeal to be put on excess (unpaid) leave while their appeal is considered...which can take years. No need for these cowards and weak minded idiots in the military.

TSgt James Sutton Can I get your autograph?
I have never met someone blessed with SO much insight that he can judge the mindset and motivations of hundreds, if not thousands of people he has never met, observed, or even read dossiers on. You, sir, are truly a legend.
Also, please note the question was not what was ALLOWED, but what SHOULD happen. And placing anyone on unpaid leave for years should never happen. Doing that gives the service absolutely no urgency in resolving the appeal, and the service member is completely helpless. But keeping them at work and getting paid gives the service - the only party who can speed things up or slow them down - a heavy incentive to resolve appeals quickly.
