Hearing your guys horror stories puts things into perspective because I felt we were pretty drat spoiled on deployment

Didn't stop everyone from constantly bitching about the food. It was pretty good all things considered

Although it was mostly out of service because I'm sure they didn't want to tend to it there was soft serve too

Of course there's so many variables to consider--the repercussions stigma for mental health issues in the Military is largely overblown. I've seen a ton of guys stay in diagnosed with mental issues, taking psych meds, having gone to a 30 day impatient treatment rehab for alcohol.

Maybe once upon a time that sort of thing was a "career ender," or w/e. It really shouldn't disuade you from talking to someone.

As said, the larger ships will have a psychologist and behavioral health Corpsman while underway. In port you gave a slew of options.

For the sake of continuity of care all your health issues should be taken care of within your command/MTF/etc. So on a ship an IDC or whatever there is. Commands like to bully junior enlisted and convince them they can't get medically treated outside of their immediate command even though they're on a large loving Naval base with a huge hospital with ER. That said, mental health is kind of the thing you can completely jump and negate all that.

Woh, that's a lot of words. But yeah not sure if you're underway or what. If you have the slightest inclination that you want to "just talk to someone," or something is up, you really should do just that and who knows what deeper issues there might be.

Oh yeah sorry and of course the chaplain if you're spiritual. Try to find an RP

Yeah you're right, it was a bit exaggerated it's just people get spooked by anything mental health related

Go to your local clinic and they will set you up including getting you a card. You can use them for 100% of your primary care. Emergency care will be at the local ER. They will have procedures in place for you to use a local ER. Just ask at the clinic. There are people there whose only job is to guide you through the process.

Nah, most likely local clinic will have the application, if you don't get it online, and and have a courier that runs it to the VA. That's the extent of it. They won't do all the "official" stuff, getting an ID, etc. I think I had to fax mine (yes fax they don't accept email of course) because someone lost it along the way

I could be wrong, but branch clinics are generally just a regular ol' doctors office that may have a psychiatrist/psychologist and do very minimal VA stuff

Your local places sucks loving balls. There are regional differences, I guess. The clinic down here has staff to help with everything. You can go get an ID same day at my clinic. They make them on site.

Yeah this is where I used to live. I figured it was, like everything with the VA, a highly regional thing. It was literally just a tiny Doctor's office in a strip mall

Luckily I'm near a VA with an ER, but still use a branch clinic for most everything


Also I'm an idiot because the branch clinic I go to is practically a mini-VA. Also has the DAV offices, and other VA-esque office areas. I'm sure they could make an ID there.

So random question:

Whenever this sort of thing happens the captain is always immediately relieved, correct? I mean I get it, they need to investigate and such. Does the XO take over?

If it's found that whatever the incident was, not just ramming another ship, was not the fault of anyone on the Naval ship, does the Captain get his job back?
