A friend (former USAF Inspector General auditor) once told me, "You don't get what you EXpect, you get what you INspect." What is on the inspection (or on the exam) is the only stuff people actually care about.
Just wear the damned masks. If the Navy had any smarts they'd be asking about any prior positive tests - that indicates natural immunity from prior exposure, thus no need for vaccine. They'd also be smart to determine endogenous vitamin D3 levels, giving bolus shots as indicated, then supplementing with 5000IU D3/ 120 mcg K2(M7) on a daily basis. The latter goes for anyone reading this - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha2mLz-Xdpg Prior immunity, see https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2550-z
Prior infections are inconsistent in providing lasting antibodies. Current Navy policy considers recovery from verified COVID to be effective protection for 90 days; also that's about how long tests can't discriminate because you'll still test positive based on the dead virus still in your system. Permanent protection requires vaccination.
Antibodies from the "vaccine" will also fade over time. Combined with the evolutionary pressure on the virus caused by mass deployment of the vaccine during the middle of the pandemic, which will cause it to mutate into variants against which the initial vaccines are not effective, this will be the justification for an unending series of experimental, modified booster shots, none of which will have cleared the traditional process for certifying vaccine safety and effectiveness. Once they establish the precedent that they can force you to take experimental medical treatments against your will, there is no limit to where this will go.
"Vaccine" in quotes here because use of the term vaccine for this treatment is actually misleading. The mRNA and DNA treatments are functionally vaccines, in the sense that they prompt an immune response in your body to prime its defenses against future infection. But they operate under a completely different mechanism of action than any other vaccines. Calling them vaccines is therefore misleading in the same way that someone in 1945 saying Little Boy is "just a new, high-tech bomb" is misleading. Use of the term "vaccine" also inherits our traditional understanding of vaccines as being safe, which is misleading in this case because the mRNA and DNA treatments have bypassed the normal extensive safety trials which have led to most vaccines being confirmed as reasonably safe before they reach the market.
I find it a bit amazing that the Command hasn't just said, you will be vaccinated per the following schedule. I don't recall ever been given an option on shots, especially before deployment. Although the flu shot was optional, and aviators generally passed on that one as it was an automatic 72-hour grounding after getting the shot. All other shots were mandatory.
I suspect you were never being pressured to take an experimental gene therapy treatment, of an entirely new class never successfully deployed in humans, for which there is no long-term safety data, and for which there are unusually severe short term reactions as demonstrated in VAERS, all to combat a disease with something like a 99.5+% survival rate for the military population, and for which there are apparently safe and effective alternative treatments.

Right, antibodies will fade over time. And if antibodies were all we had to rely upon for immunity, we'd have recurrent infections. Fortunately, we have B- and T-cell immunity, which is long lasting, see https://healthengine.com.au/info/acquired-immune-system-b-cells-and-t-cells and https://www.nature.com/articles/nature07231
And there are real problems with the spike proteins, they get out in the plasma and go to other parts of the body - https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid/ciab465/6279075 - and cause harm due to their interactions with ACE-2 receptors in the blood vessels - see https://scitechdaily.com/covid-19-is-a-vascular-disease-coronavirus-spike-protein-attacks-vascular-system-on-a-cellular-level/
