LMF? What era are some people living in? There is a recognised medical condition known as PTSD which the RAF is very good at treating despite what the media may say.
Having seen close friends struggle due to stress I am pleased to say that the RAF, certainly at Odiham at least, recognises that people react in different ways. A couple of individuals I know a few years ago were lost to the service as their circumstances were not recognised and treated however recently the handful of people at Odiham who were struggling and suffered mentally have been offered help and are now back at Odiham or are productive in different areas. I do not know what happened to this individual however far better that her experience is utilised elsewhere to the benefit of the service than distraction/stress or whatever result in another thread on here about an incident with a Red!
