As Morale Sinks at the Naval Academy, Some Midshipmen Worry About Mental Health

Thank you my friend LTC Eugene Chu for posting that at the U.S Navy Academy at Annapolis morale is sinking and some of the midshipmen worry about their mental health.

"Some midshipmen questioned if suicides could happen as they did at the Air Force Academy last spring, where seniors were ordered into quarantine on campus leading up to their graduation.

Based on what mids are posting on social media, the director of the Midshipman Development Center said mental health appears to be in a decline. But Cmdr. Randy Reese added, there are fewer midshipmen seeking counseling services than last year. When a midshipman reports suicidal thoughts, staff work to get them connected with resources."
