He always has someone to talk to he can go to sick call and talk to the Medical personal and they will make a judgment call at that time.

All branches of the service have support groups. Easiest way is if you serve with them try to get them to do things. Its probably the persons first time away from family and doesn't know how to deal with it. If you think they might be considering hurting someone or someone else go through the chain of command. if your in the service with them. You know the drill. Supervisor and on up. Or you could go to the Chaplin and talk to them. If your not serving with them the Internet is a good source to find numbers for the base they are stationed at and a phone call to the local Chaplin, so you can explain whats going on can help. There's always going to be people like this in the military and by commanding officers discretion if it is bad enough they can get a general discharge for failure to adapt. Which basically means the strains that the service is putting on you is to much for you to handle emotionally, mentally, and sometime physically. Hope we get this person help in the Armed Forces we are here to help all our brothers and sisters no matter what branch. Good Luck and God Bless

Over the last five years I had begun to have increasingly withdraw into a downward spiral of depression..
But now with the method I can fully focus my energy and thoughts into a decisive line on how to make my life better constantly. And it works like magic! I'm beginning to attract people to me once again and things have just been looking up since then.
Helping you eliminate depression?

You need to contact his commanding officer. If your instinct is telling you something is wrong, you are right to be worried. There have been a lot of suicides from people who fail to adjust to military life, being away from home, etc. Maybe contact one of his family members and let them know your concerns so they can notify the proper channels. Yes, what he is going through may be normal (I went through the same thing) but if he has said something or done something questionable, better to be safe than sorry and let his chain of command make the final call. You are a great friend! Wish you the best!

Let him be a man. Anyone in the military went through this. You're not doing him any favors by feeling sorry fo rhim.
