This is good, I'll check out the Peak Performance Center info. If there's a conflict of interest between seeking counseling and being DQ, then very few if any would want to voluntarily go.
Yes, yes and yes. I’ve watched generations of USNA sponsor midshipmen cycle throughout home. Many have sought help and counseling from chaplains and the psychologists and trained counselors over at the counseling center, and went on to pilot, submarines, etc.Thank you - the posting that you're responding to is what Navy folks call a "Mess Deck Rumor" and in my house is called a "Kid Rumor". Everyone has seen/heard these sorts of things and as a Div O and then as you rise in rank and responsibility, a part of your job is to get out ahead and stay out ahead of them. I'm sure that Capt MJ and Flieger can echo my point on this.
I sought mental health counseling in UPT and had no issues continuing training. Commissioning sources like USAFA are much more strict, but the regular Air Force is rapidly changing how they treat preventative mental health care. The worst I've seen recently was someone getting grounded for about a year, but they've since returned to flying status.My son is in the class of '23 and has said that if you want a Pilot slot (or any other rated job after you graduate) if you seek counseling for mental health issues, you won't get any of those jobs. Mental health is a huge issue with so many young people right now.
