I had a meeting with my supervisor about all of this and he had no idea the 18th’s FHP existed. We then met with our commander and he had no idea this was a thing before my supervisor gave it to him. I don’t know where the disconnect is occurring but it’s appearing quite commonplace.
Best of luck to ya man. There are contradictions within the 17 pages for DOD civilians. I ignored most of the contractor info, as it isn’t relevant (to me). According to the document, contractors can just test weekly (no one else besides approved waivers can do that). …however you have to remember that you’re a contractor and the SoW and what the contracting company mandate can differ. So the client can mandate everyone do Y but the private company can mandate all contractors do XYZQT (depending on status). I’m sure you know this, but for those reading that are new to the contract world and reading this.
All I can say is that I’m standing firm in my beliefs. I support everyone’s freedom to choose what is best for them and their families, regardless of their decision. …and I’m happy/lucky I have a command element that isn’t (personally) punishing me for doing what I believe in.
I hope this helps man and I truly wish you the best if you’re dealing with this bullshit as well.

PS: For those screaming HIPAA…See the second to last page. …it’s the executive branch. They decided that they can ignore the law that was established to protect people from this exact bullshit. It’s ok for them to mass email blast medical info…as well as mass blast a new hire’s SSN, full name/DoB/address (same for spouse’s info), and complete banking info to the section he is joining…because an SSG forgot to review the CC line before finger fucking the left mouse button. No worries though. I called it out in a reply all (to include a call to the new employee informing him) and didn’t hear a peep back.
