Alcohol is often a factor. I knew a full bird colonel and the Army Reserve who knew a lieutenant colonel in the Marine Corps Reserve. Both were DEA or Drug Enforcement Administration agents after years back. The lieutenant colonel committed suicide met his coworkers at a bar drinking and was frustrated with the job and he went home and shot himself. He was a single man and he moved at the ranks. We also have had incoming base commanders commit suicide as well and they don't tell anybody that they have issues and they are often alcohol related.
The newspaper article didn't say it was alcohol related but I'm telling you it was because of the full bird colonel I worked for told me this.

LTC (Join to see) with respects to all affected, sorry to hear. Thank you for sharing. I know of a lot Soldiers I served with committed suicide. So true. May they all R.I.P forevermore. Awareness is a big factor and communication in my honest opinion with the right connection.
