Four Sailors Assigned to the Same Virginia Naval Center Have Killed Themselves in the Last Month
Four sailors assigned to the same Naval center in Virginia have killed themselves in the last month. All of the sailors were at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center (MARMC) at Naval Station Norfolk. “The most recently deceased of the four, Janelle ...
How very tragic...a counselor said she was “inundated with the amount of hopelessness at that command.”
“Part of it is toxic leadership. The sailors immediately pointed that out,” Arestivo said.
There is so much of this going around. I hope people figure out our only hope is in the Lord Jesus Christ and his shed blood on the cross of Calvary. We can believe in any other person, place or thing in life, but our belief in Christ is the only one that really matters, giving us the strength to endure any adversity and giving us hope for a heavenly home that has been prepared for all who believe. I think people are crying out to know this truth...the pain is very real and I pray that we can be ministers of the truth in this time of trouble.
I can't speak to the Navy, but I know my young Air Force grand daughter who hasn't been home in 2 years and who we had planned on seeing finally in early Spring has had all leaves cancelled. This can't be good for mental health.
I met a veteran, who also told me his terminal leave was canceled by his ship command. Terminal leave is the accrued leave built up at the end of one's enlistment. He told me, he had his wife and kids all packed up waiting in a motel for him, when they canceled his terminal leave. On top of that they were extending his enlistment for several more months.
Apparently, this put him over the edge. In a fit of rage, he attacked one of the commanding officers. It took several people to pull him off, but he escaped and they cornered him in the kitchen to which he took a cleaver and cut off his fingers.
I looked at his hand and saw that he was indeed missing two fingers. My anxiety grew after this because then I wasn't sure about his mental state. To politely wrap up the conversation, I braved asking him what happened in the end. He told me when they constrained him, blood was everywhere and that medical determined he needed further medical assistance. So, they flew him off the ship to a hospital and treated his injuries there. They also processed him out of the Navy for 'temporary insanity'. He's still married to the same wife and his kids are all grown up.
I thought to myself maybe this guy is mentally alright after all. But, loosing two fingers to be with his family...... ^that^ is the type of stressors military people deal with.
Good Lord...
If you only knew
Come again? What do you mean?
My deepest condolences to these servicemen's families. The military is under unprecedented levels of stress. With its woke policies conflicting with individual religious and cultural mores, the level of diversity it created is unworkable and and counterproductive. The officers in charge are forced to bridge this gap and it results in harsh treatment to enlisted personnel. In addition, the military's continued mandating of a harmful experimental injectoid only exasperates and already unstable situation. The riggers of Basic training (ie. Boot camp) has been deconstructed. The old saying that Boot camp was to weed out the psychologically weak from the strong seems to no longer exist. In no way am I suggesting this to be the case for the four suicides, but in general it has only confounded the cohesion personnel face. The confusion as a result of woke policies has opened a Pandoras box in the military and has compromised the ability of a prepared fighting force.
The military, especially the Navy has always had higher suicide rates, higher divorce rates, and higher substance abuse than the general population. I've long said the military is a psychologist's dream playground for study. It appears these psychologists can now study why these servicemen were driven to suicide. Is the military culpable? You bet they are. The blood on their hands goes all the way to the top to the Pentagon and the Secretary of Defense.
Seriously...where does the military think they are going to get their new recruits? Who would sign up for this nonsense?
Senator Chuck Schumer has submitted every year a bill for returning the draft. It has been voted down every year. That's because the military recruiters were meeting their goals. What do you think will happen if they can't meet their goals?
I think that’s the point. The abuse and wokeness will destroy the military from within.
I received a down-vote for providing my condolences and then well known facts about military life. Amazing.
OR they know something or saw something. I remember someone on this site mentioned this.
Maybe this is the military's way of covering up (by claiming they killed themselves) the fact that they were vaccigated (as in Bill Gates, a similar term to clintoncide).
So basically their own bodies killed them, therefore they killed themselves. See? That's the kind of mental gymnastics we have to endure.
The article doesn't say in what manner they had committed suicide, so I'm not stating they didn't, I'm just playing devil's advocate.
"I mean, they took the shot, so it they did it themselves" -US. Navy
Kids today are babies and don't respond well to military culture. Shocking headline. Maybe a lil soap dropping guilt sprinkled in?
Call it what it is..bullying
Suicide for real or arkancide like Clinton body count style?
How do they know for a fact that these are all suicides?
That's always the proverbial question. Can it be believed? Without confirming it as an eyewitness, there is no 100% proof. However, under the duress and amount of stress being experienced in the military, it goes with the territory. Almost 50 years years ago, the *uckery level in the US Navy was pretty bad. Now with all this wokeness being forced down everyone's throat, it only adds to the already bad situation. Next time you meet a military serviceman, make sure you thank him for their service. There's a very good reason to do this.
My concern was the possibility of murder. Your other points are well taken, and I thank you for making them. 🇺🇸
commander is Capt. Jay Young
