  1. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

  2. Kind of suspicious…isn't ?

  3. The navy is where wealthy place their offspring that are not cut out for family business , you can tell which officers these are, by their raging sense of entitlement and ineptness, a bane to their fellow officers and the enlisted .

  4. 4 suicides withing weeks at the same facility. They must think we're really stupid. These kids seen something they weren't supposed to

  5. 🀨Seems pretty apparent that if it's a TOXIC MANAGEMENT ENVIRONMENT then this isn't really a matter for mental health.. it's a human resources matter and a matter of CHANGING MANAGEMENT πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ

  6. It is all about leadership.

  7. My only brother and his son served the navy this breaks my heart I been on the US George Washington because of my brother when I was 15

  8. I first thought this repeat of the sailors who were left to live on ship that was dry docked being repaired , instead being put in temporary barracks, the dust, noise 24/7 , being cut off from outside world with any transportation got them and 3 committed suicide, this happened less a year ago and now it is happening again. Toxic leadership is too common in the navy. The enlisted are treated as pawns by officers who only care about promotions.

  9. The current state of our military is embarrassing and dangerous. Best wishes to all.

  10. The first question is how do they know the deaths were suicides. Oddly, They did not report how they died. So assuming it’s a suicide seems naive they could have been easily murdered and then staged to make it look as if it was a suicide.

  11. Didn't that happen just a few months ago as well were a few sailors took thier life?

  12. These people are paid to protect our country and can’t even handle a little sadness.
    Waste of money waste of space

  13. They had the same psychotic leader still inflicting mental brutality.

  14. Wow Bad Karma. Maybe the Navy should help 'End the Drug War' Today?

  15. We working class people of the world, want all the minutes of every Bilderberg meeting since WW2. We believe the planning of Corvid and the destruction of western civilisation, are in these minutes !!!!

  16. Thank you for reporting on this. Lets name names of the commanders! We're losing young, strong, patriots. A new father now gone! This is unacceptable! One after another. There should be regulations in place to prevent things from getting even close to this level! Please keep reporting on this. Politicians only listen when it's all over the news.

  17. Grow a set and get over it.

  18. What kind of meds did they prescribe them?

  19. I know it's oversimplified, but vitamin D3 deficiency increases depression and possibly increase the suicide rate. I wish a study of vitamin D3 drops under the toungue and it helping heal depression was taken seriously.

  20. Follow the money same thing happened to a paratrooper surrounded by his friends on a beach decapitated πŸ€”

  21. Sounds like a love square. It's like a love triange, but square.

  22. Proactive means before. If the support they are offering is after then the person who said this clearly needs to learn what the word means

  23. Sounds like toxic leadership/command.

  24. Sounds like toxic leadershit at work.

  25. They very likely were taking prescription psychotic drugs. These drugs cause suicidal thoughts. This is a major pandemic in this country far worse than the coronavirus pandemic.

  26. Very sad. My son got out of there 2019
