How often do you call your fellow service members to make sure if they are doing fine?

Don't forget sobriety to your buddies. Drinking, alcohol and drugs often result in depressed soldiers and civilians killing themselves.

Once to twice a month is the call frequency and listening is the most frequent roll for me.

Buddy called me on Saturday when he heard about NJ bombing. Knew I was a runner and wanted to make sure I kept my head on a swivel for my race on Sunday (Navy Air Force 1/2).

I try to check in with a few folks about once a month. I make phone calls when I drive. It breaks up up the monotony. Driving reminds me of all the driving I did while in. So it reminds me of family and friends.

I think that this is something most of us forget to do. I'm guilty of it way too much

I don't call, but I do keep in touch via facebook. If I get a hint something might be wrong, then I would call, but otherwise facebook is the easy way to communicate with people on different timezones and work schedules.
