Mood is very down around here, though. One of the most well-liked guys in the shop committed suicide over the weekend. Folks are taking it pretty hard, myself included. He was a good dude.
Unfortunately, that's far too prevalent in the military. I'm not sure how I haven't lost a friend to suicide yet, since many of my friends have done at least three or four tours overseas.
The military doesn't put nearly enough money into mental health.

I'm actually happy about it (I know, I'm weird
). Way better than the split mids/days I've been pulling the past couple weeks

That's the damn truth. Makes me mad.
Hurts to lose this guy. I wasn't a close friend of his, as we were on different work shifts, but I'd talk to him a lot and work out with him occasionally.
Just really sad, you know?

I don't know what the exact ratio is, but I recall getting told in suicide awareness briefings (there were 100s) that there was not a significant statistical jump for soldiers who had deployed versus those who hadn't.
All the suicide risks I had under my command had never seen combat. Most hadn't deployed.
