Pfft, I wouldn't trust Wikipedia over anything else at this point, dude. Everybody at Hood has their dick tied in a knot right now.

Most people feel that they are a joke BUT they are there for people who come forward and notice they need help. Most of the soldiers don't want to say "I have a problem and need to seek help.."
They try to suck it up or feel that the services wont help them at all. 90% of them who say that NEVER tried going to use the services, yet they can say they suck.
What enforcement? You mean attendance, right? I mean, I escaped scout camp in 2007... so I may be dated... but psych evals are a joke, bro. 30/60/90 is just another grin and nod finger drill. I had some guys that had issues sleeping. They got Ambien and Jack Daniels for it. All better.

What services are you talking about? Jolly old Chaplain? Maybe some headshrinkers at Womack? Stuff you don't touch. The whole "weak" argument is moot. If you're E5+ or an O of any type in combat arms... you don't go there. You rub your wounded feelings on your X tab and drive on.
