  "textContent": "The Department of the Air Force issues a new policy on requests for religious accommodation, raising the bar for such requests as it implements guidance from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The new policy emphasizes the role of commanders while limiting that of chaplains. It also eliminates special boards designed to advise leaders.\n\nThe post Air Force Raises Bar for Religious Waiver Requests, Reduces Chaplains’ Input appeared first on Air & Space Forces Magazine.",
