Peyton Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Another soldier on Ft. Bragg took his own life yesterday. The warning signs were there, too.It's getting worse.Yeah man, it is weird. It's not just guys who are deployed or have been deployed either. We've had 4 at Fort Lee this year. There were 2 in one week not too long ago.My entire organization is in an all day suicide prevention class today. Of course, as with many things military, contractors are not invited.So I am taking a long lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritzblitz 2.0 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Suicides are up as a whole. I read last week that more die by suicide now than die in motor vehicle accidents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
