5. KNOW THE WARNING SIGNS OF SUICIDE. Tell your shipmate that you are concerned about him or her. Ask questions that will determine if your shipmate needs to get help: “Are you thinking about killing yourself? Do you have a plan to kill yourself?” Without judgment, express why you’re concerned. They may not show it, but they likely appreciate that someone cared enough to say something. Take your shipmate to get help immediately by seeking a Navy chaplain, medical professional or trusted leader. Call 911 if danger is imminent. Help is always available through the Military Crisis Line. Signs of a suicidal shipmate: - Ideation - Thoughts of suicide (expressed, threatened, written). - Substance Abuse - Increased or excessive alcohol or drug use. - Purposelessness - Seeing no reason for living, having no sense of meaning or purpose in life. - Anxiety - Anxiousness, agitation, nightmares, inability to sleep or excessive sleeping. - Trapped - Feeling as though there is no way out of current circumstances. - Hopelessness - Feeling hopeless about oneself, others or the
Abrashoff begins the book by informing the reader of how his story begins; when he is given command of the USS Benfold. The Benfold was the Navy’s most advanced guided missile destroyer the Navy had in 1997 and its command was to be one of the Navy’s top innovators. Unfortunately, Abrashoff points out some flaws with the Navy’s personnel management that I found to be shocking. First, was that “nearly 35 percent of the people who joined the military annually, wouldn’t complete their enlistment contracts.” (p.2) Such turnover can be understood by many business managers in the service industry, but unlike the quick and cheap training process for them, the cost for the military (taxpayers) is astounding. Abrashoff estimates that it cost roughly “$35,000 to recruit a trainee and tens of thousands more in additional training costs to get new personnel to the basic level of proficiency.” (p.2) Curbing this trend on his own ship and eventually helping to achieve a decrease overall in the mil...

Here, in BMT, I found myself, weeks later, being questioned by my Training Instructor about a discrepancy in my medical records. There is a test that is done before you leave for BMT, a simple test that measures your ability to lift deadweight from the ground to above your head, known as the X-Factor. SSgt Garr h...

The Behavioral Personnel Assessment Device, or B-PAD, shows police recruits real-life scenarios they may face in the field. Before a police force hires you, you have to pass the B-PAD as a part of a battery of tests. The B-PAD differs from traditional tests in that there are no right or wrong answers; it?s a test of character and how you respond to police work. Here are some techniques that break down behavioural questions on the B-PAD.
There are different ways to determine your body composition and the risks that they involve. In this lab, body measurements are taken to find the body percent fat, waist-to-hip ratio, body mass index (BMI), and basal metabolic rate (BMR). Skin folds for the chest, abdomen, and thigh were taken for males, and triceps, iliac crest, and thigh for females. Age, height, and weight for each person were recorded as well as the waist and hip circumference.
Any progress in physical fitness can help boost your capacity when working as well as the ability to respond effectively in an emergency situation.

As a cadet in ROTC I got to witness firsthand how not being physically fit can interfere with your military duties. Physical fitness is important because you have to be able to perform your job efficiently and at a fast pace. Being on profile, depending on the limitations of the profile, prohibits you from different training which causes you to fall behind. It caused me to miss out on very important training that I will need later on in my
