In response to a federal appeals court’s Wednesday order barring further enforcement of “don’t ask, don’t’ tell,” a Pentagon official wrote Friday that the military will begin accepting enlistments “without regard to sexual orientation” and will “ensure immediate compliance” with the court ruling that prohibits further discharges under the policy.

Since the 9th Circuit Court of Appeal's ruling earlier this week, one service member facing discharge under DADT told The Advocate that officials have halted his separation proceedings.

Airman 1st Class Justin Dailey said Friday that he had been served with discharge paperwork on June 9 after his sexual orientation came to the attention of his command. Dailey, 25, said he did not make a voluntary statement on his sexual orientation and was not seeking separation from the Armed Forces.
