Following the recent approval of a "religious accommodation" at the Two Star General level of a Sikh Soldier's request to wear his religious headgear and beard in violation of the military's uniform appearance regulations, other religious accommodations are expected and have already been requested by interested organizations.
The Rastafarian Affinity Group has requested an accommodation with respect to wearing Dread Locks and taking their Holy Communion, Ganja, at daily or weekly religious ceremonies called "reasonings".
The Council on American-Islamic Relations has requested Islamic Soldiers be allowed to fulfill their religious obligation to kill or enslave any infidels they encounter, both military and civilian. At least one individual request of this type has been granted at Fort Hood recently, although the official approval as a religious event has yet to be made public.

Adherents to the obscure "Church of Kenny" based in Spokane, Washington, believe that God commands them to play at least 3 hours of video games and consume no fewer than 4 beers every day. They will be given time during the course of their duties to meet these religious obligations. A Military spokesperson also mentioned that this particular religion seems to be spreading quickly throughout the US Army since this announcement.
