My best friend's son is a Navy nuke. He has apparently attempted suicide, and is being processed for that, but is home on leave. My friend and his son had a massive fight due to the son's bad behavior while home, which is when the suicide attempt was revealed, and the son is apparently "losing his job."
I spent ~3 years working around nuclear weapons and nuclear power, and the stress from working in that environment day in and day out takes a toll. We had a lot of people in my command get processed for drugs, alcohol and stress related issues. I 100% get it. I personally got to the point where I absolutely didn't care about shit, and did drugs and drank way too damn much. I was lucky enough not to get caught. I never considered suicide.
My primary concern is how the Navy handles this situation so he gets the help he needs. Does anyone know how this works? I'm going to be hanging around with my friend and his son for a couple days.
