Dafuq is Going on with this Aircraft Carrier?

I’ve seen some reports the USS George Washington is known for bad conditions aboard the ship and complaints from sailors.

I don’t know how much validity is in those reports, or how much the conditions factor into the suicides, but supposedly they pre-date the recent string of suicides.

Active duty suicides went up in all branches after - well you know….


Normal even in 80s for 2-3 suicides a year for a carrier and air wing 5500 people.

If we ever get into a medium to large scale naval battle, we're going to take some pretty bad losses

The moves comes at the end of a month that saw three sailors aboard the ship die via suicide, after a previously undisclosed string of suicides going back to at least July of last year.

There are a few thousand guys on board.

My ship had less than 300 people and during an 18 month period there were three suicides (plus a couple of other guys that had to be sent off for mental breakdowns).

It happens.

Now throw in trannies etc. and it isn’t surprising to see the numbers rise even more.

This was rather predictable imho.

A ship with poor morale would see an even greater spike in these events. Just my .02.

complaints about sleeping conditions on a ship

Being out at sea with a ship full of men is probably a lot like prison, but worse.

Sounds suspicious…

Hillary?

Nothing to do with LBQTG (or whatever it is), nor trannys, nor whoever is in the white house. Many young people face little adversity from home/school. Parents/teachers give multiple chances, accept mediocre effort and enforce little accountability. Coping skills/toughness/resiliency are learned at early ages. Mostly it has to do with a softer generation of young people coupled with softer basic/training/discipline in the ranks.

Mental health care in the military is woefully inadequate and needs to be completely reworked.
