As far as the vaccine I was about in the same situation as you, except I’m law enforcement and not military. But I really related to that.I'm of the opinion that the Masks were fucking Stupid ( I was in a job that required them , but due to the proximity of the Fuckers I had to be around I got Covid anyways despite the Mask ) Social distancing was the better deterrent. I personally got the vaccine because knowing the Military leadership was going to allow more flexibility front those that got the shots ( I was correct, it made travel and putting in for Leave less of a Hassel and using the Gym on Base was less restrictive if you were vaccinated ). I don't like the science behind the Single Shot Vaccine. The 2 shot one was more viable because it's supposed to simulate Covid and engage you're immune system to be ready , which is why most people got sore from the 1st one , the 2nd Time your body is used to it and your ability to fight covid is improved.
As for the masks I’m not positive but I bet the N95 or same quality do make a difference but cloth and such are probably worthless. But nobody made any distinction for the general public or really anyone outside of healthcare.
