The DOD started prevention training back in 2006 yet suicides went up within the military and in the veterans community. The real question is, if that training did not work on the non-deployed, how did they expect it to work on those with multiple deployments? They learned nothing, changed nothing but blamed everything and everyone. So much for military intelligence.Kathie Costoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05930848909252282916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742487410373715914.post-16838347279527285312016-06-20T12:40:02.946-04:002016-06-20T12:40:02.946-04:00Will the Navy take accountability for facilitating...Will the Navy take accountability for facilitating an atmosphere of fear and intimidation in the commands?<br />Is part of the suicide prevention program centered around changing the way the training programs are run and monitoring the supervision at these commands?<br />Will systematic changes be made in light of the multiple recent deaths?<br />Maybe more should be done instead of waiting for someone one to reach out for mental health help, maybe proactive reaching in to the lives of these sailors could help them more.<br />They all have life stressors but in consideration of the commonality of their profession, training, location, age it would be prudent to look at the stress the Naval establishment puts on them as well.<br />Bullying needs to end. What is being done about bullying needs to change. The public coversation about suicide in the Navy needs to start. <br />These young men and women need to know that without a doubt they will not be shamed or their career impeded by coming forward and speaking out. <br />Leeadership needs to make serious changes in the Naval Organization, before another life is lost.Concerned U.S. Citizen & Loving family memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10166321131567536894noreply@blogger.com
